What the paper reports

This outlook places three-dimensional electron diffraction within the wider development of nanocrystallography. It discusses acquisition and analysis approaches, the treatment of diffraction from very small crystals, and applications spanning organic, inorganic, and biological materials. Pharmaceutical examples help connect the methodological landscape with molecular crystal analysis, while the article remains a synthesis rather than a new API validation study.

Why this paper is included

A useful foundation for understanding overlapping MicroED and 3D ED terminology, experimental strategies, and the broader context of pharmaceutical applications.

The interpretation above is analysis, not a conclusion attributed to the original source.
