Multiple scattering of electrons in a crystal and the resulting interference problems make electron crystallography of inorganic substances a problematic undertaking. A recent publication by T. E. Weirich et al. now shows that electron crystallography could be the method of choice, for example, to determine the structure of small crystals. Providing that one has access to a high‐resolution electron microscope, the other requirements of this method are relatively small.
