Abstract
Many crystals display some small symmetry departures from a high symmetry. For example, a crystal has a tetragonal or an orthorhombic structure very close to a cubic structure. In this case, many zone axis electron diffraction patterns look similar and cannot surely be identified with conventional Selected-Area Electron Diffraction (SAED) or microdiffraction.
