Reconstruction
Display image description
Single computed slice through a tomographic reconstruction of mitochondria from Drosophila S2 cells infected with flock house virus (FHV-1). To see the relationship between the 2D tilt image and the reconstructed area, please view the image map. Note that the reconstruction (inset on image map) is flipped vertically relative to the original tilt data.

Image 2D
Display image description
Single tilt image of a 250 um thick section of a Drosophila S2 cell infected with flock house virus (FHV-1) imaged with intermediate voltage electron microscopy, taken at zero degree tilt. The dark specks are colloidal gold particles that have been applied to the surfaces of the section to serve as fiducial marks for subsequent alignment.
Full resolution image description
Zip file containing the single axis tilt images (fhv2.st) in IMOD MRC format along with many of the ancillary files generated by iMOD.

Segmentation
Display image description
Manual segmentation of mitochondrial membranes and replication centers (RC's) of FHV-1 using Xvoxtrace v2.13. Contours were sufaced using Synu.
Segmentation file description
Zip file containing original trace files (FHVmito2.trace and FHVmitonew.trace), along with some of the surface files in Synu (*.synu) and open inventor (*.iv) format. It appears that only some of the surface renderings for the rc objects are available; the rest will have to be regenerated; no surfaced objects associated with mitochondrial membranes were submitted. An animation of the segmented mitochondrion and the viral spherules in Quicktime format is also included (6659_seg.mov). Please note that Jinx (http://ncmir.ucsd.edu/downloads/jinx.shtm) can be used to read traces generated with Xvoxtrace. Jinx requires the original reconstruction file, available from the "Reconstruction' download page.

Specimen preparation
Protocol used
Mitochondria were isolated from Drosophila cells as described by Echalier [77]. For electron tomography, cells were fixed in 2% parafomaldehyde and 2.5% glutaraldehyde in 0.1 M sodium cacodylate, pH 7.4, post-fixed in 1% osmium tetroxide with 0.8% potassium ferrocyanide in sodium cacodylate buffer, stained with 2% uranyl acetate, dehydrated in a graded series of ethanol, and embedded in Durcupan ACM resin. Sections were cut with a thickness of approximately 250 nm from blocks exhibiting well-preserved ultrastructure. These sections were stained for 30 min in 2% aqueous uranyl acetate, followed by 30 min in lead salts. Fiducial cues consisting of 20-nm colloidal gold particles were deposited on both sides of the section.
