STEM has been widely utilized for imaging and analysis of thin samples at much higher accelerating voltages (100 kV and up) in STEM/TEM or dedicated STEM instruments and has been studied for many years.[1] Transmission Kikuchi diffraction (TKD) has perhaps driven the most recent interest in low voltage transmission imaging in the SEM (some refer to this as t-SEM) and thin film microanalysis.[2,3] This paper will discuss the advantages of transmission imaging in the SEM along with some of the current challenges of this technique.
