Incommensurate misfit layer structures of the type MTS{sub 3} (M =Sn, Pb, Bi, rare earth elements; T = Nb, Ta) were studied by means of electron diffraction and high resolution electron microscopy. It is demonstrated how the electron diffraction patterns along the zone perpendicular to the layer planes can be interpreted in terms of the misfit between the constituents layers. Diffraction evidence for orientation variants is presented; their occurrence is directly related to the degree of deformation of the corresponding sublattices.
