[3dem] Recommendation of CTF estimation program

[Carlos Oscar S. Sorzano]

Dear Guobin,

stated like this, it is to difficult to give an "absolute" 
recommendation. A first question would be if you see the Thon rings by 
eye? If not, I would say that most programs will not be able to find the 
defocus. If you can see them, then it is a matter of trying. All I can 
offer in this regard is to try Xmipp on this, if you make one or two of 
these micrographs available, you may send me a personal message with the 
link and we will check them.

Kind regards, Carlos Oscar
