=================================================================================

The extent of electron backscattering electrons (BSEs) increases at low accelerating voltages of the incident electron beam, therefore, the contrast of the backscattered electron images is increased. However, the lower accelerating voltages reduce the contrast of STEM images.

Figure 2926 shows the simulated and experimental yields of BSEs for the electron incident voltages lower than 5 keV for a silicon sample.
