A suite of software tools (DiffTools) has been developed for DigitalMicrograph--a software platform widely used in transmission electron microscopy (TEM) laboratories world-wide. These tools include capabilities for calibration, center determination, rotational averaging with automatic peak location, pattern spot spacing and interspot angle determination, rotation and inset of a pattern into an image, pattern intensity inversion and enhancement, and calculation of basic crystallographic data. The implementation and application of these tools to experimental diffraction patterns is illustrated and measurement of d-spacings with an accuracy of 0.63% or better is demonstrated. These tools, which are freely available via the Internet, enable users to rapidly and efficiently process selected area electron diffraction patterns. This can be performed entirely within the DigitalMicrograph environment using familiar menu-based commands and user-friendly dialog-based scripts.
已为DigitalMicrograph开发了一套软件工具（DiffTools），DigitalMicrograph是一个在全球透射电子显微镜（TEM）实验室中广泛使用的软件平台。这些工具包括校准、中心确定、自动峰值定位的旋转平均、图案斑点间距和斑点间角度确定、图案旋转和嵌入图像、图案强度反转和增强以及基本晶体学数据计算等功能。说明了这些工具在实验衍射图案中的实现和应用，并展示了以0.63%或更高精度测量d间距的方法。这些可通过互联网免费获取的工具，使用户能够快速有效地处理选定区域电子衍射图案。这可以完全在DigitalMicrograph环境中使用熟悉的基于菜单的命令和用户友好的基于对话框的脚本完成。
