This paper deals with specimen preparation for Electron Backscatter Diffrac
tion (EBSD). Due to the very low information depth of EBSD the standard met
allographic preparation is typically not sufficient. It affords an adjustme
nt in order to achieve a very flat and fully distortion free sample surface
. Compared to metals the preparation of ceramics is a bit more delicate. Th
erefore it will be published separately [01aKat].
