Transmission EBSD from 10 nm domains in a scanning electron microscope

TL;DR: In this article, a new form of low-energy transmission Kikuchi diffraction, performed in the SEM Transmission EBSD (t-EBSD) detector and software, has been proposed to capture and analyse the angular intensity variation in large-angle forward scattering of electrons in transmission.
