Abstract
Microdiffraction experiments obtained with a small spot size and a nearly parallel electron beam are well-adapted to most specimens and especially to small particles. They are particularly useful when Convergent Beam Electron Diffraction (CBED) patterns do not give the 2D and 3D information required to identify the point and the space groups. They can also be used to start the identification or the determination of a crystal structure. Specific and simplest CBED experiments are later realized to remove left ambiguities.The microdiffraction Zone Axis Patterns (ZAP) are composed of sharp reflections whose high angular resolution helps to appreciate the shifts and the periodicity differences between the Zero (ZOLZ) and First (FOLZ) Order Laue Zones reflection nets. Observations of thin areas at low temperature are recommended in order to produce many well visible FOLZ reflections.It was already indicated that the crystal system and the Laue class are deduced from observation of the whole pattern symmetry of the reflections.
