Key Features of Our SEM and EDS Analysis Lab

At MTS India, we combine high-resolution imaging with precise elemental detection to deliver:

✅ Ultra-Fine Surface Imaging

Our SEM instruments deliver magnifications up to 300,000x, far exceeding what traditional optical microscopy can achieve.

✅ Elemental Mapping and Composition

With EDS, we can pinpoint and analyze the presence of elements in specific areas, revealing composition, contamination, or inclusion details.

✅ Versatile Material Compatibility

Our SEM and EDS Analysis Lab supports a wide variety of sample types — metals, polymers, ceramics, composites, films, dust particles, and more.

✅ Fast and Accurate Results

We offer quick turnaround times with high-quality micrographs, element spectra, and expert interpretation tailored to your industry needs.

Applications of SEM and EDS Analysis

MTS India’s SEM and EDS Analysis Lab plays a vital role in several industrial and research applications:

1. Failure Analysis

Identify root causes of material failure such as cracking, fatigue, pitting, wear, or corrosion. SEM provides visual evidence while EDS confirms elemental composition in the affected zone.

2. Surface Characterization

Examine surface coatings, welds, thin films, and polished cross-sections to assess uniformity, grain size, phase distribution, or surface treatment effects.

3. Contamination and Particle Analysis

Analyze unknown particles, residues, or inclusions found in manufacturing lines, cleanrooms, pharmaceutical batches, or filter systems. Our SEM and EDS analysis helps determine source and composition.

4. Quality Control & Material Verification

Confirm that your materials match required specifications. SEM imaging and EDS testing reveal structural and compositional irregularities before they become operational problems.

5. Corrosion Studies

Visualize and quantify localized corrosion (pitting, intergranular attack) and study corrosion product composition to trace causes.

6. Coating and Layer Analysis

Examine the quality, adhesion, and thickness of coatings and multilayered materials. Determine failure modes such as delamination or voids.

How the SEM and EDS Analysis Process Works

Step 1: Sample Submission

You can submit solid samples, cross-sections, powders, or filters. Our team can guide you on ideal sizes and preparation if needed.

Step 2: Sample Preparation

Depending on the sample type, we mount, polish, and coat it (if non-conductive) to prepare it for SEM examination.

Step 3: SEM Imaging

The sample is placed in the SEM chamber where it is scanned under high vacuum using an electron beam. We capture high-resolution images of the surface and sub-surface features.

Step 4: EDS Analysis

Elemental analysis is conducted on selected zones of interest. We generate element maps and line scans to visualize and quantify the composition.

Step 5: Reporting

Our experts compile a detailed report including SEM micrographs, EDS spectra, element maps, and interpretive commentary. We also provide failure insights or recommendations if required.

FAQs – SEM and EDS Analysis Lab

Q1. What is the minimum sample size for SEM?

SEM can accommodate very small samples — as little as 1 mm in size. However, sample preparation may vary based on the material.

Q2. Can SEM and EDS detect light elements?

Yes, but detection of lighter elements (like carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen) can be limited depending on the detector used. We advise clients accordingly.

Q3. Is sample destruction required?

SEM is minimally destructive. Non-conductive materials may require a thin coating (like gold or carbon), but bulk integrity is preserved.

Q4. How long does analysis take?

Standard SEM and EDS analysis can be completed within 2–5 working days, depending on sample type and scope of work.
