Abstract

An exploration of the crystallographic theory of the relatively novel method of Microcrystal Electron Diffraction (MicroED), via comparison to X-ray crystallography at the theoretical and practical level. We then attempt to outline the limitations and challenges that the technique currently faces, and suggests future areas of study that may improve and optimize the technique.
