Electron Crystallography

Caption

Electrons interact much more strongly with matter, and electron crystallography presents many new possibilities for analysis. When irradiated with electrons, submicrometre-sized crystals diffract characteristically. The structure of the molecules inside the crystals can be deduced from the diffraction patterns.
