For a complete description of a material`s microstructure the morphology as well as the distributions of chemical elements and of crystal lattice orientations must be known. While morphogy is a standard issue of electron microscopy, and element distributions can be mapped readily using an EDX appliance, crystal lattice orientations in the bulk surface are accessible in routine work only recently. Backscatter Kikuchi patterns (BKP), also termed electron backscattering patterns (EBSP), are widely used for the determination of individual grain orientations in the surface of bulk polycrystals. 12 refs., 1 fig.
