Lattice orientations of garnet microstructures, obtained using electron-backscatter diffraction(EBSD) methods, were used to model garnet growth and deformation mechanisms. EBSD analysis uses the backscattered electrons(BSE) emitted from a specimen, in a scanning electron microscope(SEM), to form a diffraction pattern that is indexed. EBSD enables crystallographic orientation measurements of minerals as small as 1 micrometer, and the calculation of misorientation axes and angles(>1 degree) between any two measurements. 2, record 1, English, - electron%20backscattered%20diffraction%20analysis

Electron backscattered diffraction in a scanning electron microscope allows the crystallographic orientation of small grains to be measured precisely. EBSD can be used to study crystallographic preferred orientations, grain boundary and twin characteristics, to quantitatively map grain microstructures and for characterisation of fine-grained phases. We are using the EBSD to investigate the microstructural and crystallographic signatures of deformation recrystallisation and reaction processes in rocks. 1, record 2, English, - electron%20backscattered%20diffraction

A l'échelle mésoscopique, la diffraction des électrons rétrodiffusés (EBSD : Electron BackScattered Diffraction) permet, en mode automatique, de reconstruire la microstructure en termes d'orientations à partir de l'indexation de diagrammes de Kikuchi. Cette technique de microscopie à imager les orientations [...] est particulièrement bien adaptée à l'étude de la croissance granulaire [...] 2, record 2, French, - diffraction%20des%20%C3%A9lectrons%20r%C3%A9trodiffus%C3%A9s
