Abstract

Energy-filtering transmission electron microscopy (EFTEM) allows the determination of elemental distributions out of a sequence of energy filtered images. Combined with electron tomography, EFTEM is a powerful tool to obtain three-dimensional chemical maps from sub-cellular structures. However, there is no existing software in the public-domain for the computation and analysis of 3D-chemical maps. Here, we present a Java-based program to compute 3D-elemental distribution. This program is available as a set of plug-ins for the public-domain Java image processing program Image J inspired by NIH Image. Its implemented algorithms have been successfully applied to the three-dimensional localization of iron granules in semi thin (200 nm) epon sections from the vent worm Riftia pachyptalia.
