Generally, SE are used to obtain topographical contrast while BSE show differences in chemical composition (so called Z-contrast).The aim of the present work is to show possibilities and techniques to obtain not-so-common information using BSE, as e.g. orientation contrast, residual stress, different allotropic modifications, etc. ER
