TEM-based Electron Diffraction (ED) has progressed from sample orientation or phase analysis to a reliable method for ab initio crystal structure determination at the nanoscale. Owing to the high interaction strength, the practical limits of ED applicability continue to be explored, but its limitations are apparent: only a finite dose budget can be spent on collecting diffraction patterns from...
