The convergent-beam electron diffraction (CBED) method we proposed recently for enantiomorph identification has successfully been applied to some amino acid crystals such as glutamic acid and threonin. Enantiomorph identification (either left-handed or right-handed form) can readily be made within the framework of the proposed method by noting the asymmetric intensity distribution of Bijvoet pairs of reflections in the CBED pattern taken along an appropriate zone-axis orientation. Although the proposed method usually requires only a single CBED pattern, some effort to eliminate the ambiguity of 180°-rotation of the CBED pattern about the incident beam is needed for enantiomorph identification for these organic crystals because of the lack of HOLZ (higher-order Laue zone) reflection disks. © 2009 IOP Publishing Ltd.
