In recent years, three-dimensional electron diffraction (3D-ED) techniques have emerged as a powerful tool for use in structure determination. While conceptually analogous to single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD), 3D-ED can overcome many of its limitations due to the strong interaction of electrons with the crystal potential. Combined with the use of focused electron probes, microcrystals up to a million times smaller in volume than would be needed for SCXRD can be studied.
