RT Journal Article SR Electronic A1 Kejzlar, Pavel A1 Švec, Martin A1 Macajová, Eva T1 The Usage of Backscattered Electrons in Scanning Electron Microscopy JF Manufacturing Technology Journal YR 2014 VO 14 IS 3 SP 333 OP 336 DO 10.21062/ujep/x.2014/a/1213-2489/MT/14/3/333 UL https://journalmt.com/artkey/mft-201403-0015.php AB Secondary and backscaterred electrons are the most common signals used for imaging in the scanning electron microscopy. 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.
