We here present a method based on metallic platinum sputtering that can substantially enhance the quality of subtomogram averages from lamellas and thereby reduce the number of particles needed for high-resolution subtomogram averaging. We provide evidence for the physical background of this improvement and demonstrate its usefulness by producing sub-5[A] ribosome averages from yeast.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
