Automated quantitative 3D electron diffraction rotation tomography

Abstract

Recent developments in data collection allow automated acquisition of 3D electron diffraction data from nano-sized crystals using conventional transmission electron microscopes. In the present work we show that the automated 3D electron diffraction rotation method can be successfully applied for the rapid data collection. Moreover, a dedicated data processing system can be used for the treatment of the obtained 3D data and for the quantitative extraction of integrated intensities which are required for the successful crystal structure solution. © 2012 Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht.
