Abstract

A study of edges and angles of known samples has been performed by means of stereoscopic pairs with electron microscopy in two and three dimensional systems. The derived equations have been included in a computer program. Measurements on stereoscopic pairs with different tilt angles using several crystals of galena, calcite and other objects with known dimensions have been performed. The optimum tilt angles have been obtained by comparison with the actual values, and a logarithmic ratio between these angles and the stereoscopic pairs magnification has been found. The errors obtained using this system of calculation are lower than 6% in the measure of angles and 15% in the case of edges.
