A volcanic eruption? A forced landing of UFO? What's happening over the mountain?! This image shows diffraction pattern observed in the 0.5 thick single crystal Si thin foil specimen. The area looks like a mountain is actually vacuum and no specimen there. The vivid flash of lights are the KIKUCHI LINE which can be observed only in the thick single specimen.
