Notes:
In order to obtain accurate data on structure factors from electron diffraction data, it is necessary to take into account the inevitable n-beam dynamical diffraction effects. The comparison of intensity values from detailed computer calculations with observed intensities from perfect crystals is reviewed for the cases of convergent beam diffraction patterns from MgO crystals of uniform thickness and of dark-field images of wedge-shaped crystals of silicon. An analysis of the sources of error in each case suggests that it may be possible to derive structure factor values with an accuracy of better than one per cent. The method, recently proposed by Watanabe et al. [Acta Cryst. (1968). A24, 249] for deriving structure factors from the values of accelerating voltages for which some Kikuchi lines disappear, is reviewed and possible sources of error are examined.
