SUMMARY The techniques whereby an electron microscope may be used to observe the low angle electron diffraction pattern from crystallized macromolecules are described. A discussion is then presented of the advantages and disadvantages of the technique relative to X‐ray diffraction, high resolution electron microscopy and optical diffraction or computer analysis of electron micrographs.
