Bruker EDS for STEM, TEM and T-SEM: XFlash 7T slim-line detectors and ESPRIT software for nanometre and atomic-scale mapping.
Key features
- Microscopes
- Configured for each STEM, TEM or SEM (T-SEM): slim-line detector design optimised for the microscope's pole piece and EDS flange.
- Collection
- Maximum collection and take-off angles for fast, highly sensitive acquisition.
- Clean data
- Designed to avoid mechanical and electromagnetic interference, and to minimise specimen tilt, absorption, shadowing and system peaks.
- Atomic-scale mapping
- Drift correction for periodic structures (atoms, layers) and a fast-moving, stable detector stage.
- TEM quantification
- Cliff-Lorimer (theoretical and experimental factors) and Zeta-factor methods, with interpolation of missing Zeta-factors and absorption correction.
- In-situ experiments
- Time-resolved acquisition saves a stream of changing data, for example at elevated temperatures.
- Automation
- Scripting and API options for specific analysis jobs and batch processing; off-line analysis for student or laboratory networks.
