What Does EBSD Stand For?

EBSD stands for Electron Back Scatter Diffraction

Electron Back Scatter Diffraction (EBSD) is a sophisticated crystallographic technique used primarily in scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to analyze the crystallographic orientation of materials. By detecting the backscattered electrons that diffract from crystal lattices, EBSD provides detailed information about grain size, phase identification, and preferred orientation. This method is essential for understanding the microstructural characteristics of metals and other crystalline materials, facilitating advancements in materials science, metallurgy, and engineering applications.
