Abstract

Electron tomography is an important technique to investigate the three-dimensional structure of EM specimens in both micro-biology and materials science. Discrete Tomography is a relatively new computational technique for reconstructing images that consist of only a few different grey levels from their projection data [1]. This approach can be used effectively in electron tomography to reconstruct specimens that contain only a few different compositions.
