Abstract

We present a quantitative investigation of data quality using electron precession, compared to standard selected-area electron diffraction (SAED). Data can be collected on a CCD camera and automatically extracted by computer. The critical question of data quality is addressed – can electron diffraction data compete with X-ray diffraction data in terms of resolution, completeness and quality of intensities?
