Standard experimental tables for cryo-EM

Each cryo-EM structural article will normally include standard experimental tables as shown below. Templates for these tables can be found in our Word template at https://journals.iucr.org/services/wordstyle.html.

Helpful notes and/or examples are given in the second column.
