The combination of electron tomography (three-dimensional reconstruction of an individual object from a series of EM tilt images) and elemental mapping (based on element-specific differences in interaction between the primary electron beam and the specimen) is at the very beginning of its application. This article reviews the first published results and considers some requirements and potential uses in biology, employing two examples from our own exploratory work.
