3D architecture of the Trypanosoma brucei flagella connector, a mobile transmembrane junction

Electron tomograms of the flagella connector structure.
Two tomograms are on chemically fixed FCs (chem_fix1_1.rec and gull67m.join).
Three tomograms are of high pressure frozen FCs (connector3.join, connector5_modeled.join and connector6_1.rec).
One tomogram is of frozen hydrated sections (frozen_hydrated_sections_serial_tomogram_flagella_connector.join), also called CEMOVIS, and is to our knowledge the first published serial section CEMOVIS.

The .recs are single electron tomographic reconstructions. The .joins consist of serial tomograms that has been joined in the z-axis.
