3. Preparing samples for individual orientation measurements
The first requirement for electron microscopy is to have samples that are stable in a vacuum and under the impact of high-energy electrons. They must possess a minimum of electrical conductivity so as not to become charged. . In the case of TEM, the electrical charge is less critical and can be reduced by placing a thin sample on a conductive support film. Secondary electrons released by a large-aperture diaphragm in the back focal plane will discharge the sample. Parasitic magnetic fields and the charging of massive samples in the SEM can be more troublesome. The usual surface coating with a layer of sputtered gold, as in conventional imaging, is contraindicated for EBSD due to the shallow interaction depth of primary and...
