D-LACBED montage from Al2O3

Al2O3a


Al2O3b

These images show a montage of Digitally reconstruced Large Angle Convergent Beam Electron Diffraction (D-LACBED) patterns from a single crystal of sapphire, Al2O3. The data is inverted and a colour cast has been applied. These patterns are very sensitive to crystal symmetry; the symmetry of the whole pattern is 2mm while individual patterns have symmetries of 2mm and 2.
