    摘要: Methods and arrangements identify crystalline phases in a polycrystalline sample by determining a normalized vector p(i) for the chemical composition of the expected crystal structure, at each measurement point of the sample, recording a spectrum by means of energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and determining the chemical composition, and recording an electron diffraction image and determining of the diffraction bands. The methods and arrangements also determine a normalized vector v for the chemical composition, compare the normalized vector v with each of the normalized vectors p(i) of the expected crystal structures and outputting an evaluation factor s(i) for the similarity of the vectors in each case, compare the diffraction bands with those of the expected crystal structures and outputting an evaluation factor n(i), and determining an overall quality from the two evaluation factors and identifying the crystal structure with the highest overall quality as belonging to the measurement point.
