Figure 2
Schematic illustration of a spherical homogeneous precipitate and the distortions it induces in the crystalline matrix, as well as the diffraction conditions that are considered in the discussion of the contrast associated with such a precipitate. The incident beam (dotted black arrows) forms an angle θB with the diffracting lattice planes. This angle being relatively small (∼9.3°), the image of regions where the rotation of the lattice planes with respect to the matrix orientation is negative (diffracted beam indicated by dotted blue arrows) lies, on the detector, on either side of the image of regions where this rotation is positive (diffracted beam indicated as red dotted lines).
