<p>Hi.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>There are two separate problems here.</p>
<p>The easier one is to simply determine the defocus in various positions of the specimen.</p>
<p>If you only want to work with small cut-outs (such as single particles) then you just use the normal CTF-correction with the local defocus. Others pointed to software that does that.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>If you want to work with the image as a whole (for example for 2D crystals) the problem is more difficult. Essentially you don't have a CTF in that case (it's not a transfer function).</p>
<p>Look at the paper by Ansgar Philippsen (<span>Ultramicroscopy 107 (2007) 202–212) if that's what you're after. Also check software for 2D crystallography, but I don't what is actually implemented.</span></p>
<p><span><br>
</span></p>
<p><span>All the best,</span></p>
<p><span><br>
</span></p>
<p><span>Philip</span></p>

The problem is that the tilt causes the higher resolution Thon rings to become out-of-phase, and so the standard programs can't give a decent estimate of the goodness of-fit. I vaguely remember that someone had a program that took the tilt into account a number
of years ago, but a quick hunt for it didn't turn up anything.<br>

<div>I think any patch-based CTF program, like the one in cryosparc or gCTF's local mode (with evenly spaced coordinates instead of real particle locations) would work well. With cryoSPARC there's an easy method to plot the tilt axis; you can also choose a
specific number X and Y divisions for the patches.</div>
