Electron diffraction patterns can also be interpreted 52 or inverted 53 to obtain images of strain, again on a length scale smaller than the corresponding X-ray work. Illustration of how the phase ...

The emergence of imaging schemes capable of overcoming Abbe's diffraction barrier is revolutionizing optical microscopy. In 1873, the German physicist Ernst Abbe realized that the resolution of ...

Electron diffraction is a powerful analytical technique used to study the atomic structure of materials. It involves the interaction of a beam of electrons with a crystalline sample, resulting in a ...

When a laser beam is incident on a narrow opaque object such as a fine wire or a strand of hair, the resulting diffraction pattern is similar to the diffraction pattern of a slit of the same width as ...

EBSD is commonly performed in a scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with a specialized EBSD detector. This illustration depicts the detection geometry commonly used in Electron Backscatter ...

The waves always 'spread' to some extent into the area beyond the gap. This is diffraction - the spreading out of waves when they go through a gap, or past the edge of a barrier. The extent of the ...
