QUANTAX EDS for TEM

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.
