Backscattered Electron images Backscattered Electron images contains two types of information: specimen composition and specimen topography. Although electron images are obtained most frequently with an SEM, Backscattered Electron images often provide additional and important information. The following are samples we have been studying and the images are intriguing.

	Backscattered electron image of a purple fluorapatite crystal from the Pulsifer Quarry, Mount Apatite, Androscoggin County, Maine.
	Backscattered electron image of rockbridgeite and whitmoreite. Location being compiled.
	Backscattered electron image of whitmoreite. Location being compiled.

	Backscattered electron image of barite and pharmacosiderite. Location being compiled.
	Close-up of a Columbite Group Mineral from the core margin of the Animikie Red Ace Pegmatite, Wisconsin, showing pronounced oscillatory zoning pattern. Field of view is 2 mm wide.
