So you want to do ebsd but you don't know how it works and what it does ?

This presentation gathers some basic general knowledge about ebsd:

MTEX is a free matlab toolbox for EBSD data analysis: https://mtex-toolbox.github.io/

Here are a few scripts that could be usefull for some applications:

• Import EBSD data from the Oxford camera with the right reference frame
• Compute the depth of each point of a sample relative to its surface whatever its geometry
• Automatic EBSD map stiching

EMSOFT is an open-source code for dictionary indexing of EBSD pattern. It can be usefull when classic EBSD indexation fails due to :

• large plastic deformations
• pseudo-symetries
• pattern similarities

The original code can be found here: https://github.com/EMsoft-org/EMsoft

The official tutorial explains how it works: https://github.com/EMsoft-org/EMsoft/wiki/DItutorial

The following presentation summarizes the main concepts and provide guidelines to use EMSOFT with the school microscope on the cluster: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rPmuguwfiDyxVGP2NfSrjGjED-w0_pLw/view?usp=sharing

Usefull scripts:

• EDAX_conv.py: python script to convert a list of pattern pictures from the Oxford EBSD camera (the one installed on the Zeiss) to an EMSOFT compatible HDF5 format
