What the paper reports
The review describes MicroED methodology and recent advances across small organic molecules, materials, and biological structures. It explains how diffraction from very small crystals extends the experimental toolkit. Pharmaceutical readers can use it for broader methodological context, while recognizing that its cross-disciplinary examples do not constitute a dedicated benchmark of routine API polymorph screening.
Why this paper is included
Provides background for readers entering the field and places pharmaceutical applications within the broader development of electron crystallography.
The interpretation above is analysis, not a conclusion attributed to the original source.
