Using a video camera, a video digitizer, and a microcomputer, an image processing system is assembled to determine the locations of electron diffraction spots on photographic negatives of electron diffraction patterns. This system can help to reduce the measurement time to one third when compared with conventional manual methods and produces results with better accuracy and less operator fatigue.
