Undertaking EBSD experiments

Summary

• Careful sample preparation is critical for successful EBSD experiments, and conventional metallographic techniques can normally be used successfully.

• It is important to balance the requirements of total experiment time, orientation accuracy and spatial resolution when designing an EBSD experiment.

• The orientation measurement accuracy is typically ±0.5°.

• The spatial resolution of EBSD depends on the sample, microscope type and microscope operating conditions and in a FEGSEM, grains as small as 10 nm can be analysed.
