The Electron Crystallography & Automated Mapping Techniques Focused Interest Group (ECAMT-FIG) is a community of MSA members with a common interest in crystallography and advanced electron methods for materials characterization. Our goal is to provide a platform for the distribution and discussion of ECAMT-relevant information chosen by the membership. Our activities include the hosting of pre-meeting congresses and symposia during the annual M&M meeting. We also host a luncheon and business meeting during the annual M&M meeting.
Recent activities of ECAMT-FIG include the organization of an exciting one-day Pre-Meeting Congress (PMC) entitled "Exploiting the Diffractive Properties of Electrons for Solving Materials Problems" held Sunday, July 24, 2016 in Columbus, OH, USA preceding the Microscopy and Microanalysis 2016 meeting. This event featured 8 invited speakers covering a comprehensive review of diffraction-based methods for materials analysis, both for transmission electron microscopes and scanning electron microscopes.
