Since the point resolution of the JEOL 200CX electron microscope is up = 2.6Å it is not possible to obtain a true structure image of any of the III-V or elemental semiconductors with this machine. Since the information resolution limit set by electronic instability (1) u0 = (2/πλΔ)½ = 1.4Å for Δ = 50Å, it is however possible to obtain, by choice of focus and thickness, clear lattice images both resembling (see figure 2(b)), and not resembling, the true crystal structure (see (2) for an example of a Fourier image which is structurally incorrect). The crucial difficulty in using the information between Up and u0 is the fractional accuracy with which Af and Cs must be determined, and these accuracies Δff/4Δf = (2λu2Δf)-1 and ΔCS/CS = (λ3u4Cs)-1 (for a π/4 phase change, Δff the Fourier image period) are strongly dependent on spatial frequency u. Note that ΔCs(up)/Cs ≈ 10%, independent of CS and λ. Note also that the number n of identical high contrast spurious Fourier images within the depth of field Δz = (αu)-1 (α beam divergence) decreases with increasing high voltage, since n = 2Δz/Δff = θ/α = λu/α (θ the scattering angle). Thus image matching becomes easier in semiconductors at higher voltage because there are fewer high contrast identical images in any focal series.


The Copley Medal is awarded to Dr A. Klug, F. R. S., in recognition of his outstanding contributions to our understanding of complex biological structures and the methods used for determining them. Together with D. Kaspar, Klug developed a theory that predicted the arrangement of sub-units in the protein shells of spherical viruses. This theory brought order and understanding into a confused field ; nearly all the observed structures of small spherical viruses, many of them elucidated by Klug and his collaborators, are consistent with it. After more than 20 years’ work on tobacco mosaic virus Klug and his colleagues solved the structure of its coat protein in atomic detail. They also elucidated the mechanisms by which the helical virus particle assembles itself from its RNA and its 2130 protein sub-units. Recently his group succeeded in crystallizing chromatin, and solved its structure at a resolution sufficient to see the double-helical DNA coiled around the spool of histone. Many of Klug’s successes were made possible by his introduction of Fourier image reconstruction methods into electron microscopy. Klug’s work is characterized by deep insight into the physics of diffraction and image formation and the intricate geometry of living matter.
