Depth-resolved analysis reveals target-dependent cryo-FIB damage profiles
Cryogenic focused ion beam (cryo-FIB) milling enables cellular cryo-electron tomography but can compromise high-resolution structural information near milled surfaces. Here we establish recombinant human apoferritin (apoF) as a reporter of depth-dependent structural preservation in cellular lamellae. ApoF yielded a 2.05 [A] in situ reconstruction. Apparent FIB damage was most pronounced within…
