h1. Refine Reconstruction
Most initial models establish nothing more than a preliminary sense of the overall shape of the biological specimen. In order to reveal structural information that can answer specific biological questions, the model requires refining. In single particle analysis, a refinement is an iterative procedure, which sequentially aligns the raw particles, assign to them appropriate spatial orientations (Euler angles) by comparing them against the a model, and then back-projects them into 3D space to form a new model. Effectively, a full refinement takes as input a raw particle stack and an initial model and is usually carried out until no further improvement of the structure can be observed, often measured by convergence to some resolution criterion.
