## Abstract

Electron tomography has been studied in various fields. Various methods have been developed to align projection sets to construct ideally focused reconstruction. In this paper, we present how to align the projection set to distinguish whether it has an ideal sinogram pattern or not by removing translation errors and vertical tilt errors. We also analyze some important properties for certain types of samples to identify whether the reconstruction image can be made through an ideal sinogram pattern. We provide a guideline for how to construct a better reconstruction image by scanning the sample through these properties.
