Williams, Carolyn J. Hesselbo, Stephen P. Jenkyns, Hugh C. and Morgans‐Bell, Helen S. 2001. Quartz silt in mudrocks as a key to sequence stratigraphy (Kimmeridge ...
Electron Backscattered Diffraction (EBSD) Systems can determine quantitative microstructural data on metals, minerals, semiconductors, ceramics, and most other inorganic crystalline materials.
Research in Antarctica using the OCEANET-Atmosphere platform revealed high levels of stratospheric aerosols possibly linked to volcanic activity and significant warm air intrusions. These findings are ...
These X-rays can then be analyzed to determine the sample's elemental composition - a bit like revealing the 'ingredients' of the sample. Another method is Backscattered Electron (BSE) imaging.
This functionality, paired with contrast enhancement offered by backscattered electron imaging, supports quickly identifying fault regions, and a detailed examination of microstructural features.
It uses a scanning electron microscope equipped with a focused gallium ion beam to sequentially mill away the sample surface. In-column backscattered (EsB) and secondary electron (SE) detectors are ...
