Structural Analysis of Colloidal Crystals by Kikuchi-Kossel Method ―Toward Precise Measurement under Microgravity

Abstract

Kikuchi-Kossel diffraction method of colloidal crystal is developed for automatic mesurement experiment under microgravity. This article describes two important aspects of the project: Kossel diffraction camera that acquires indepth information of crystal growth, and sample cuvette that maintains the sample condition over a long period of time.
