An SEM User’s Guide to Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS)

1. An overview of EDS What is EDS? The standard method for figuring out the elemental content and makeup of materials under a scanning electron microscope (SEM) is called energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, or EDXS. The technique is more frequently known as Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS), however EDXS is virtually invariably abbreviated. It offers details…

Using Scanning Electron Microscopy Testing Lab to Identify Metal Composition

To understand the topography and composition of an element, the SEM Analysis Testing Lab uses a concentrated electron beam on the face of the product to create an image. These electrons then interact with the sample and produce distinguished signals that provide information regarding the element. Why does one prefer the use of electrons instead…
