Hi Sjors,


Thank you for your suggestion. That is exactly what the problem is. The coordinates were wrong when I extracted particles. I forgot about the binning issues.


Thanks again,

Chen

Hi Chen,
Have a look whether there are some empty or otherwise strange
micrographs/particles in your data set.
HTH,
