MicroED Collaborative Research (FY2024)

MicroED (Microcrystal Electron Diffraction: Rotational method for the electron diffraction) is the crystallographic technique to collect the diffraction images from thin (< 1μm) 3D crystals in the powder sample. Even in the case that the X-ray experiment only showed the power diffraction pattern from the sample, the MicroED experiment may acquire the diffraction patterns from single crystal(s) and solve the structure of complicated natural compounds or synthetic organic materials. IPR implemented the automatic data acquisition system capable of analyzing samples with crystal polymorph or samples with a low rate of crystalline particles. Since the method is still under development, applicants must operate the electron microscopy with the responsible IPR member.
