The reflectance of very slow electrons from solids and its electron energy dependence are shown as characteristic for the crystal system and its spatial orientation so they can serve, e.g., to fingerprinting the orientation of grains in polycrystals. Measurements on single crystals and polycrystals are validated via electron backscatter diffraction analyses. Sensitivity of the method to fine details of crystallinity is demonstrated.
