This article presents ideas on some topics related to electron diffraction in the TEM. These are in regard to topics that I have come to think of as standard parts of what it means to do microscopy. However, they represent insights that not all users share (or even agree with, maybe).

Kikuchi lines are of great use in orienting a sample. Unfortunately, in modern microscopes, Kikuchi lines are not seen in selected-area diffraction (SAD). This is because immersion lenses send parallel electrons, from different parts of the sample (like the Kikuchi lines from a flat specimen), to different places in the diffraction pattern.
