Reconstruction
Display image description
Portion of a single computed slice through a tomographic reconstruction of the myocardium of the left ventricle of a normal mouse. Note that the full reconstruction covers a larger area than is displayed here.
Full resolution image description
Full resolution reconstruction by TxBR (quadratic: WT5aNC1_quad.rec) (~50 Gb). Note that a binned down reconstruction was used for segmentation that is available for download through the Downsampled data file download link.
Downsampled image description
2X binned down version of the reconstruction file in IMOD format. This version was used to generate the segmentation files. Note: to open this file using Jinx, append a .rec to the file name.

Animation description
Animation through the computed slices of a tomographic reconstruction from the left ventricle of a normal mouse heart. The electron dense particles on the surface of the volume are colloidal particles applied to the surface of the imaged section to serve as fiducial markers for alignment of the tilt series.

Segmentation
Display image description
Manual segmentation of T tubule and SR membranes and mitochondria using IMOD 3.9.3
Segmentation file description
file contains IMOD generated tomographic model file (WT5aNC1_CCDB.mod) and information file that contains measurements from the segmentations generated by IMOD (WT5aNC1_CCDB.txt)
