There can be few scientific subjects which have undergone such a revival and expansion of application in Materials Science in the past decade as Electron Crystallography, and in its application to the structure analysis of organic compounds Douglas Dorset has been a major contributor with an (unfinished) career spanning the period from 1974 to the present. The introduction of the term 'Electron Crystallography' to cover the dual-space studies of high-resolution imaging and electron diffraction possibly came from electron protein crystallography, but it is now more widely accepted in other material areas. The reader, however, should
