In this paper a method for the atomic structure analysis of single-walled and multi-walled carbon nanotubes based on the combination of Raman spectroscopy and electron diffraction is presented. We discuss the main criteria of this method and give an example of index-assignment of individual double-walled carbon nanotube. We argue that the combination of several techniques gives the most accurate and unambigous structure identification.
