三维电子显微镜（3DEM）对结构生物学做出了重大贡献。为了完成这一壮举，许多实验室开发了许多图像处理软件包。方法的独立开发自然意味着采用不同的约定——惩罚那些想要利用来自不同包的丰富算法的用户。此外，现在还建立了一个3DEM研究成果的公共存储库，即EM数据库。在信息交换很重要的时代，规范惯例是必要的。3DEM字段需要一组一致的约定。我们提出了一套通用的约定，称为“3DEM图像约定”。它们被设计为图像解释和呈现的标准化方法。在这方面。，这些约定是在现有软件包之间构建数据交换解决方案的第一步，也是在数据存档（如EM data Bank）中实现同构数据表示的工具。Elsevier Inc.出版。
Three-dimensional electron microscopy (3DEM) has made significant contributions to structural biology. To accomplish this feat, many image-processing software packages were developed by various laboratories. The independent development of methods naturally implied the adoption of dissimilar conventions-penalizing users who want to take advantage of the wealth of algorithms from different packages. In addition, a public repository of 3DEM research results, the EM Data Bank, is now established. In an era where information exchange is important, standardizing conventions is a necessity. The 3DEM field requires a consistent set of conventions. We propose a set of common conventions named the "3DEM Image Conventions." They are designed as a standardized approach to image interpretation and presentation. In this regard., the conventions serve as a first step on which to build data-exchange solutions among existing software packages and as a vehicle for homogenous data representation in data archives, such as the EM Data Bank.
