[3dem] Registration and 3-D Reconstruction

[Joachim Frank]

Thanks, Steve, for mentioning my book (Oxford U. Press 2006).

I'd like to add the book on Electron Tomography I edited for  
Springer-- it contains the mathematical foundations of 3D  
reconstruction in great detail, expounded by experts in the field.

Our own software, SPIDER, has been described in J. Struct. Biol. 1996  
along with several other software systems.

A step-by-step protocol on how to do a single-particle reconstruction  
is contained in Shaikh et al., Nature Protocols 2008.
