Abstract
High-resolution electron diffraction patterns have been obtained from frozen, hydrated catalase crystals to demonstrate the feasibility of using a frozen specimen hydration technique. The use of frozen specimens to maintain the hydration of complex biological structures has certain advantages over previously developed liquid hydration techniques.Keywords
