Conclusion
The study demonstrates the effective use of the DIALS package for processing 3D electron diffraction data from various instruments, leading to high-quality structural determinations.
Supporting Evidence
- The DIALS package is open-source and has been adapted for various types of electron diffraction experiments.
- Three examples of data processing were presented, demonstrating the versatility of DIALS.
- New features were added to DIALS to improve the workflow for processing electron diffraction data.
Takeaway
This study shows how scientists can use a special software called DIALS to help them understand the tiny structures of materials by looking at how they scatter electrons.
Methodology
The study involved processing 3D electron diffraction data using the DIALS software, with examples from different instruments and detailed instructions provided.
Limitations
The study notes that the DIALS software may underestimate errors in 3D electron diffraction data compared to X-ray data.
