Relying on artificial intelligence and computer vision, CrysTBox makes routine crystallographic analyses simpler, faster and more accurate compared to human evaluators.

The high level of automation together with sub-pixel precision[1] and interactive visualization makes the quantitative crystallographic analysis accessible even for non-crystallographers allowing for an interdisciplinary research.

If high-accuracy measurement is needed or if the distortion exceeds standard levels, appropriate tools[19] should be applied prior to the analysis.

For instance, rotation of the atomic structure in direct space leads (if set so) to an instant update of the simulated diffraction pattern.

The electronic visualization allows to simplify understanding of widely used, yet less intuitive representations such as the inverse pole figure.

For instance by drawing the coloured triangle of the inverse pole figure into the stereographic projection or to the more intuitive 3D atomic structure.

[1] CrysTBox offers tools for automated processing of diffraction patterns and high-resolution transmission electron microscope images.

Since the tools employ algorithms of artificial intelligence and computer vision, they are designed to require minimal operator effort providing higher accuracy compared to manual evaluation.

Four analytical tools can be used to index diffraction patterns, measure lattice constants (distances and angles), sample thickness etc.

Despite the high level of automation, the user is able to control the whole process and perform individual steps manually if needed.

DiffractGUI allows for an automated analysis of diffraction patterns and high-resolution images of single crystal or limited number of crystallites.

It is able to determine crystal orientation, index individual diffraction spots and measure interplanar angles and distances in picometric precision.

This allows the user to verify correctness of the automated estimate and easily check the similarity of other intensity profiles within the specified thickness range.
