electron diffraction during which, in a sequential order, electrons of the incident beam are inelastically scattered, form a point source inside the specimen, and leave the specimen through Bragg diffraction.

In an experimental setup the diffraction described here will form a Kikuchi pattern which is measured to infer information about the crystal lattice of the sample.This definition makes use of the wave-particle dualism in the sense that we use both the term scattering and diffraction in one definition.
