EBSD
Definition
Electron backscatter diffraction, used to assess crystallographic information. EDS assesses characteristic X-ray energies for elemental information; the techniques answer different questions. Neither output automatically identifies a unique object or source.
- Context
- Electron-based analysis
For example, an EBSD pattern can provide crystallographic information that an elemental X-ray energy spectrum does not directly measure.
Preparation, sampling volume, spectral or pattern quality and relevant comparisons affect interpretation.
