Xray Analysis

The interaction of electrons with the sample produces x-rays which are characteristic of the elements in the material. EMLab electron microscopes are fitted with special micro-analytical systems which analyze these x-rays and allow the composition to be determined and spatially mapped.

The High Vacuum Scanning Electron Microscope are fitted with energy dispersive x-ray analysis systems which allow elements from Carbon upwards to be analysed.

 

The Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope is fitted with both an energy dispersive and wavelength dispersive X-ray analysis system. The wavelength dispersive system is particularly suited to systems with low concentrations and those which contain many elements especially in the transition metal range.

Analytical Transmission Electron Microscope is fitted with an energy dispersive X-ray analysis system.
