What is Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD)? Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), also known as backscatter Kikuchi diffraction (BKD), is a powerful characterization technique used to analyze ...

The EBSD system uses backscattered electrons (BSE) emitted from a specimen in a SEM to form a diffraction pattern that is imaged on a phosphor screen. Analysis of the diffraction pattern allows ...
