SUMMARY Electron trajectory data from Monte Carlo simulation techniques is three dimensional in nature, and thus is best represented by methods that most preserve the spatial information. Stereo plotting is a method that gives the three‐dimensional illusion effectively while not requiring any special equipment beyond what is required to make standard two‐dimensional plots. Stereo plots of electron trajectories are presented that illustrate the advantages of the spatial illusion in the context of examining in detail some of the interactions of the electron beam with planar bulk meta lic samples.
