A new form of well‐ordered three‐dimensional crystals of intact 50 S ribosomal subunits from Bacillus stearothermophilus have been obtained. Electron micrographs of positively stained sections of these crystals revealed that the ribosomal particles are packed closely. The cell parameters have been determined. Representative electron micrographs and their computed contoured filtered images are shown.
