Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>Electron tomography is an important tool to investigate nanoassemblies in three dimensions. As reported by Sara Bals and co‐workers <ext-link ext-link-type="doi" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">on page 84</ext-link>, the complete electron tomography approach is optimized to quantify the number of particles in the assembly. The image shows a 3D reconstruction of a spherical self‐assembly of gold nanoparticles. The background consists of false‐colored 2D projection images that are used for the reconstruction. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg1f9fdb63" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
