EBSD and EBSD-based orientation microscopy are well established, powerful and versatile techniques for quantitative microstructure investigations and crystallographic analysis.

New developments now enable quantum leaps in EBSD application: First, new EBSD cameras with direct detection sensor allow an extreme increase in sensitivity. Second, the newly developed spherical indexing for analysis of EBSD patterns opens new horizons of EBSD applications in terms of sensitivity to very weak patterns, robustness to noise, and accurate phase distinction capabilities, as well as improved spatial and angular resolution.

The workshop will present the new detector and spherical indexing procedure as well as discuss most recent and future applications.
