High contrast EBSD-DF images of a micro-hardness indent on compressed iron obtained using long EBSD detector distance for high angular resolution EBSPs with an accelerating voltage of 30 kV and a detector distance of 50 mm as a function of the virtual beam position on the high angular resolution reference EBSP. (A) Reference EBSP (see plain text for detailed description), (B) band contrast map, (C) FSD image and (D–H) EBSD-DF images with specific reflections marked by arrows in (A). The EBSPs image resolution was 1344×1024 pixels.
