However, FIB damages the lamellae ...Focused ion beam (FIB) is widely used for thinning frozen cells to produce lamellae for cryo-electron microscopy imaging and for protein structures study in vivo. However, FIB damages the lamellae and a quantitative experimental analysis of the damage is lacking. We used a 30-keV gallium FIB to prepare lamellae of a highly concentrated icosahedral virus sample. The viruses were grouped according to their distance from the surface of lamellae and reconstructed. Damage to the approximately 20-nm-thick outermost lamella surface was similar to that from exposure to 16 e/Å in a 300-kV cryo-electron microscope at high-resolution range. The damage was negligible at a depth beyond 50 nm, which was reduced to 30 nm if 8-keV Ga was used during polishing. We designed extra steps in the reconstruction refinement to maximize undamaged signals and increase the resolution. The results demonstrated that low-energy beam polishing was essential for high-quality thinner lamellae. |
