CrysTBox twoBeamGUI
CrysTBox twoBeamGUI is an automated tool which estimates thickness of TEM sample using a convergent beam electron diffraction (CBED) in two-beam approximation.
Two methods of the sample thickness calculation are implemented in twoBeamGUI, both of which are based on analysis of intensity profile across the diffracted disk. One method relies on a linear regression of its local minima (Allen 1981), but is not recommended for inexperienced users. The default and recommended method is based on comparison of the experimental profile with set of theoretical profiles calculated for given thickness range according formula VII.12 in Mornirolli (2002).
