Yes, I meant maps from SPA. This is the great thing about cryoEM: most maps are discovery maps!
I agree that showing crystallographic maps requires more careful explanations for non-experts, but I still believe we, as a field trying to make our nerdy technical things more approachable to others, are better off showing maps than not.

Surely a key difference is that cryoEM maps (assuming you mean SPA) are not calculated with phases derived from the model shown built into the map? Most maps shown to convince the reader of the validity of the authors interpretation of the electron density in X-ray crystallography papers use some attempt at removing bias from 2Fo-Fc or Fo-Fc density when the phases have at some point in the refinement been derived from a model including the region of interest. Few are “discovery maps” to use Dale Tronrud’s term: https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg04276.html Huw VARNING: Klicka inte på länkar och öppna inte bilagor om du inte känner igen avsändaren och vet att innehållet är säkert.
