The \"cut and projection\" method is used to analyze the electron diffraction patterns and to determine the stacking sequences from geometrical feature of the diffraction patterns. The structure deduced from electron diffraction patterns and direct imaging can be described as resulting from a regular intergrowth of two tun- nel titanates: the hexatitanate and an hypothetical decatitanate. As the homologous series of tunnels alkali titanates A2TimO2m+1 with m > 6, the structure is derived from the lepidocrocite archetype.

Both materials have been thermally treated in order to phase-separate crystalline droplets and have been then redrawn at a temperature above their softening point to elongate and orient them. In one sample the crystalline phase is a Ag(Cl, Br) solid solution, which gives the material birefringence properties, while in the other sample the particles on the surface have been chemically reduced to Ag, giving the material polarizing properties (Polarcor~). Most of the observed needle-like particles are built up by a small number of well grown crystallites often separated by voids. Both the crystallites and the voids occupy the whole width of the particles and can assume very different lengths. Crystallites inside a particle have different orientations. Microsc. Microanal.

In the present paper an image processing technique is introduced that profits from long extinction distances in electron diffraction. It is applied to study the real structure of spinel films, which were grown on MgO substrates by solid state reactions. The simulation of electron diffraction and the analysis of calculated contrast tableaus revealed that the intensity of the spinel-specific {220} reflections is a monotonous function of the crystal thickness in a wide range of parameters. Making use of this relation experimental micrographs of spinel films and MgO/spinel interfaces are interpreted by Fourier filtering. First, it is the aim of the technique developed to map the local thickness of spinel films by evaluating the {220} related contrast.
