Abstract

An efficient method of merging images from electron crystallographic data has been developed that is several orders of magnitude faster than the method of phase shift origin search. The results of this new cross-correlation method are compared with the phase residual in terms of speed, consistency with the phase residual method, and the ease of incorporating symmetry constraints along with the image-to-image merging. The program is further accelerated by a more efficient sorting procedure.
