Illustrated Fourier transforms for crystallography

E. Aubert and C. Lecomte

Abstract: Concepts such as Fourier transformation, convolution and resolution that are required to understand crystallography are illustrated through visual examples. These concepts can be explained pedagogically in a very direct way using the DigitalMicrograph software from Gatan Inc. (http://www.gatan.com/imaging/downloads.php), originally intended for electron microscopy data collection and analysis, and practical exercises developed around this tool can be used in teaching crystallography.

Keywords: teaching tools; DigitalMicrograph software; Fourier transform.
