Epitaxial Ba(Fe1-xCox)2As2 thin films have been produced by pulsed laser deposition on a spinel substrate with an iron buffer layer. Using the convergent beam electron diffraction technique in the transmission electron microscope, it is possible to obtain a Kossel pattern of the substrate. Strain-induced changes of the lattice parameters are derived from the captured Kossel pattern of substrate areas close to the interface with the iron buffer layer. The in-plane lattice parameters increase with respect to bulk spinel, giving evidence, that the strain in the Ba(Fe1-xCox)2As2 thin film is mainly determined by the iron buffer layer, and not by the substrate.
