Program: EMxtalinfo

This utility program combines a few other programs into a single program. The user is asked to select a crystal structure, microscope accelerating voltage, and scattering factor set. Zone axis diffraction patterns require entry of the camera length (in mm), a PostScript output file name, a maximum index value for stereographic projections, logarithmic or exponential intensity scaling for the kinematical diffraction patterns, and selected zone axes. This program is typically useful for TEM observations, to assist the user while working at the microscope.

A typical usage example would be the following

Crystallographic Information


Structure Factors

 Total number of families        =    35
 Total number of family members  =   694

Stereographic Projections

Enter the maximum index for h,k and l, or for
u,v, and w. For a hexagonal system, please use
4-index notation [uv.w] or (hk.l) to determine
the largest index.
  Enter maximum indices : 2,2,2
