A new class of filter transfer function derived from Wiener filter and Green’s equivalent layer principles is presented for upward and downward‐continuation enhancement of potential‐field data. The newly developed transfer function is called the preferential continuation operator. In contrast to the conventional continuation operator, the preferential continuation operator possesses a continuation response that acts preferentially upon a specific band of the observed potential field’s Fourier amplitude spectrum. The transfer function response approaches the response of an all‐pass filter away from this band. This response characteristic is useful for at least two common potential‐field signal enhancement applications. First, it is possible with preferential upward continuation to attenuate shallow‐source, short‐wavelength, potential‐field signals while minimally attenuating deep‐source, long wavelength signals (as often happens after application of conventional upward continuation) Second, it is possible with preferential downward continuation to enhance deep‐source, long wavelength signals without overamplifying shallow‐source, short‐wavelength signals (as often happens after application of conventional downward continuation) Preferential continuation, used qualitatively for anomaly enhancement, ably overcomes these two limitations of conventional continuation enhancement.

Cryo-electron microscopy combined with single-particle reconstruction techniques has allowed us to form a three-dimensional image of the Escherichia coli ribosome.In the interior, we observe strong density variations which may be attributed to the difference in scattering density between ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and protein. This identification can only be tentative, and lacks quantitation at this stage, because of the nature of image formation by bright field phase contrast. Apart from limiting the resolution, the contrast transfer function acts as a high-pass filter which produces edge enhancement effects that can explain at least part of the observed variations. As a step toward a more quantitative analysis, it is necessary to correct the transfer function in the low-spatial-frequency range. Unfortunately, it is in that range where Fourier components unrelated to elastic bright-field imaging are found, and a Wiener-filter type restoration would lead to incorrect results. Depending upon the thickness of the ice layer, a varying contribution to the Fourier components in the low-spatial-frequency range originates from an “inelastic dark field” image. The only prospect to obtain quantitatively interpretable images (i.e., which would allow discrimination between rRNA and protein by application of a density threshold set to the average RNA scattering density may therefore lie in the use of energy-filtering microscopes.
