Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) is an extremely versatile technique, applied across a wide variety of research fileds. In a single laboratory, an EBSD system may be used on one day to characterise the texture in an aluminium alloy, and on the next to identify the different phases in a Pb-free solder. Bearing this in mind Oxford Instruments offers you the ability to choose an EBSD system designed specifically for your own purposes from a variety of different detector types and software modules. Each one is designed to perform a certain, specific task with optimum speed and accuracy, while at the same time offering the user friendliness that our customers expect.
