Can Direct Electron Detection be Used to Improve EBSD Analysis?

Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) is a very important microanalytical technique to measure and understand the crystallographic arrangements in materials. EBSD detection hardware has not changed significantly in the decades since its commercialization and performance has not always kept up with customer and sample needs. A new type of direct electron detection hardware has been reported, which borrows technology from other applications. In this webinar, we show a comparison of this new technology to current commercial systems and also examine its performance considerations.
