Abstract
This paper is given in honour of Professor Boris Vainshtein, one of the founders of electron crystallography. He was an invited speaker at this NATO Advanced Study Institute on Electron Crystallography, but regrettably died half a year before it took place. Already in his classical book Structure Analysis by Electron Diffraction from 1964 [1] he wrote: “There is no doubt now that electron diffraction may be used for the complete analysis of crystals whose structure is unknown”.
