Secondary electrons are suitable for observation of surface structures.
Backscattered electrons, which are generated simultaneously with sec-
ondary electrons, carry information on composition of specimen as well
as surface morphology.
Irradiation of a specimen with electrons generates secondary electrons,
backscattered electrons, and characteristic X-rays. Information from all
of these can be detected simultaneously when appropriate detectors
are mounted on an SEM.
JEOL patented High sensitivity backscattered electron detector can
generate composition, topography, and shadowed images simply with
a selection on the operation menu. The detector is mounted on the bot-
tom of the objective lens ready for observation. It is not necessary to
mount and remove the detector by a user.

(JSM-6490/6490A : optional)
The Everhart-Thornley type secondary electron detector detects sec-
ondary electrons selectively since the energy of the secondary elec-
trons is less than 50eV.
