摘要: SUMMARY The theory of defocusing phase contrast is presented in terms Scherzer's (1949) ‘integrated-ray’ and Heidenreich's (1964) ‘single-ray’ approach to spherical aberration; transfer the Scherzer expression included. Fine structure transverse sections, negative stain carbon film shown be result contrast. Examples interpretative confusion are given for various macromolecular systems quantitative support found a simplified ‘rule-of-thumb’ phase-contrast enhancement. High-resolution studies carbon-fibre lattices demonstrate reversal, hence it possible show that practical change due aberration falls between Heidenreich terms; defocus term also require some adjustment.
