1. A method for determining crystallographic characteristics of a specimen, said method comprising the steps of: (a) obtaining a plurality of indexing solutions for a crystal within said specimen; (b) selecting a most probable solution from said plurality of indexing solutions; (c) generating a confidence factor for said most probable solution, said confidence factor being responsive to at least two of said indexing solutions; and (d) producing a report associated with said crystal, said report being responsive to said confidence factor.
