DESCRIPTION:Electron tomography is a powerful tool for investigating the t
 hree-dimensional structure of nanomaterials. The field of discrete tomogra
 phy focuses on the reconstruction of samples that consist of only a few di
 fferent materials. Ideally\, a reconstruction of such a sample should cont
 ain only one grey level for each of the materials in the sample. By using 
 this property in the reconstruction algorithm\, the required number of pro
 jection images can be reduced substantially and the quality of the reconst
 ruction can be improved. A discrete reconstruction typically contains fewe
 r artifacts and does not have to be segmented\, as it already contains one
  grey level for each material.\n\nIn this talk\, the basic principles of d
 iscrete tomography will be introduced\, followed by an overview of recent 
 results on real-world microscopy data.
