Elemental characterization and compositional analysis using Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS) integrated with FE-SEM. This technique enables the identification and distribution of elements within materials, providing valuable insights into chemical composition, phase distribution, and material heterogeneity.
Capabilities include:
- Qualitative and semi-quantitative elemental analysis using EDS
- Point analysis for localized elemental identification and compositional assessment of specific features, phases, particles, and defects
- Line scan analysis for evaluating elemental concentration variations across interfaces, coatings, diffusion zones, and other regions of interest
- Elemental mapping for visualizing the spatial distribution and correlation of elements across the sample surface
- Characterization of phase, inclusions, contaminants, and compositional inhomogeneities
- Compositional analysis of particles, coatings, interfaces, and advanced materials
