[Ncame-students] Regarding the pre-tilted for EBSD

All,

It was brought to my attention that the some of you have been using the pre-tilted holder at the 54 degree position for EBSD. This is incorrect, especially if you input 70 degree pretilt in the AZtech software.
The 70 degree position should always be used for optimal signal strength of EBSD scan.

I'm attaching an image below showing the correct mounting position (70 degree) on the pretilted holder for your reference.

If you have used the wrong mounting position before, you data is likely still valid if only grain size measurement was performed. However, all the texture data would be invalid.

Thanks,
Shuai
