Abstract

Convergent beam electron diffraction (CBED) is fairly recent as a standard technique in commercial electron microscopes. It was invented already in 1939 by Möllenstedt [1]; applications in crystallography were proposed by MacGillavry [2] and Ackerman [3] in the 1940’s. In the mid 1960’s Goodman and Lehmpfuhl [4] revived CBED as an alternative to SAD spot patterns, which they saw as poor substitutes for integrated intensities as used in X-ray crystallography. They turned to the Kossel-Möllenstedt or CBED patterns as a way of recording one-or two-dimensional rocking curves instead.
