A computer analysis of the topographical contrast due to surface projection in the backscattered electron image in the scanning electron microscope is described. Present results show that disappearance of the topographical contrast may occur at a certain condition between the incident beam angle and the detector take-off angle. This condition just corresponds to the experimental results previously reported.
