Abstract

Chen et al. (1) applied three-dimensional (3D) Fourier filtering together with equal-slope tomographic reconstruction for an observation of nearly all the atoms in a multiply twinned platinum nanoparticle. However, their methodology suffers from fundamental methodological flaws, as initially brought up by a recent Communications Arising (2) and now analyzed in-depth in this report written on June 20, 2014. The authors of (1) read this report and wrote a reply containing 5 points. While we have solid reasons to disagree with their points, we will not include our responses here, and will address their first two points using Nature's online commenting facility. References 1.
