EBSD Examples

EBSD – Electron Back Scatter Diffraction is a technique using the electron beam of a SEM to differentiate the crystallographic orientations of grains on a sample surface. From EBSD we obtain:

Grain orientation
Grain size
Misorientation between grains
Pole figures and maps

Electron Channeling Pattern Kikuchi Map

EBSD example: electron channeling pattern
