When Sparky opens the file it reads the grid spacing from the file header if the header has the information. But that value might be wrong. Just because your projection images had 1.055 Angstrom pixel size doesn’t mean the 3d reconstruction will use the same pixel size. You will have to get the correct grid spacing from the person who did the reconstruction.</div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div><br></div><div><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"> </span>Tom</div></font></span><div><div class="h5"><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div><blockquote type="cite"><div>On Nov 24, 2015, at 7:17 AM, Yaowang Li <<a href="mailto:liyaowang2911@gmail.com" target="_blank">liyaowang2911@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br><div><div dir="ltr">Dear Tom,<div><br></div><div>Yeah, it indeed did not change the intensity, I made a mistake, and did not make it clear.</div><div><br></div><div>I have a little experience on the this, that is my first time.

It does not change the map intensity values. If it appears to be wrong by a factor of 2 when compared to a PDB file then the voxel size is definitely. I would not just guess that it is a factor of 2 too small — you should find out from whoever did the reconstruction what the correct value is. But if 2.11A is the correct size than your fitting is fine.</div><span><font color="#888888"><div><br></div><div><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"> </span>Tom</div></font></span><span><div><br><div><br></div><div><div><blockquote type="cite"><div>On Nov 23, 2015, at 1:31 AM, Yaowang Li wrote:</div><br><div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:12.8px">Dear all,</span><br style="font-size:12.8px"><br style="font-size:12.8px"><br style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px">I faced a scale problem when I was trying to fit the density map.</span><br style="font-size:12.8px"><br style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px">A density map was reconstructed from a set of projections which their</span><br style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px">magnitude are 1.055A/pixel, with a reference model that is 1.055 A/voxel</span><br style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px">and 5 A in resolution.
