摘要: A new way of filtering electron diffraction patterns has been discovered. Patterns from slightly different specimen thicknesses beyond the mean free path for inelastic scattering are subtracted. Only thickness sensitive information (dominantly elastic) remains. Thermal diffuse and Borrmann effects removed in addition to signal eliminated by conventional energy filtering. One application is quantitative convergent beam without an filter. Structure factors alpha - Al(2)O(3) have measured with average uncertainty 0.25%.
