A beam electron that is reflected from [a] sample by elastic scattering. 4, record 1, English, - back%2Dscattered%20electron
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
BSE are often used in analytical SEM [scanning electron microscopy] along with the spectra made from the characteristic X-rays. Because the intensity of the BSE signal is strongly related to the atomic number (Z) of the specimen, BSE images can provide information about the distribution of different elements in the sample. 5, record 1, English, - back%2Dscattered%20electron
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
The backscattered electron yield is strongly dependent upon atomic number, qualitatively describes the origin of characteristic rays, and reveals compositional and topographic information about the specimen. 1, record 1, English, - back%2Dscattered%20electron

Électron résultant de l'impact d'un faisceau d'électrons dit primaire et d'un échantillon. 2, record 1, French, - %C3%A9lectron%20r%C3%A9trodiffus%C3%A9
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Les électrons primaires sont entrés en collision avec des noyaux d’atomes de l’échantillon et ont réagi de façon quasi élastique avec eux. Les électrons sont réémis dans une direction proche de leur direction d'origine avec une faible perte d'énergie. 2, record 1, French, - %C3%A9lectron%20r%C3%A9trodiffus%C3%A9
