a, Typical 300-kV image of ice-embedded epsilon15 kept at 4.2 K, recorded in a JEM3000SFF electron cryomicroscope. Fingerprint signature features of viral DNA are clearly seen in the projection images. b, The 4.5-Å resolution three-dimensional reconstruction of epsilon15 phage, about 700 Å in diameter, radially coloured. c, The seven subunits in an asymmetric unit, annotated in different colours. Each subunit contains one copy of gp7 and one copy of gp10.
