Electron diffraction of solids is usually performed in a transmission electron microscope tem where the electrons pass through a thin film of the material to be studied. Electron microscopes are usually supplied with equipment for obtaining diffraction patterns and micrographs from the same area of a specimen and the best results are attained if the complete use is to be made of these combined facilities. Here, we describe a simple technique which overcomes all of these problems using computer control, giving electron diffraction data over a large angular range for many diffracted beams from the volume given by a focused electron beam typically a few nm or less.
