We developed a specimen-drift-free energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) mapping system in a scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) to improve the sensitivity and spatial resolution of EDX elemental mapping images. The amount of specimen drift was analysed from two STEM images before and after ...
Select from 40 color options to effortlessly create vibrant images during elemental mapping Simultaneously map multiple element lines (K, L, M) Dynamic Element Mapping Interact in real-time to show only the elements while in Mapping and Linescan modes ...
Quickly activate and add elements while mapping to simplify operation and inspection Select from 40 color options to effortlessly create vibrant images during elemental mapping Simultaneously map multiple element lines (K, L, M) Dynamic Element Mapping Interact in real-time to show only the elements...
The X-rays emitted during the process are collected by a silicon drift detector, which measures the signal and interprets it using software. In essence, the chemical information can bevisualized in several waysincluding elemental mapping and line scans. In this way, X-rays can be used to iden...
Live chemical imaging (LCI) finally brings SEM imaging and EDS elemental analysis together into one seamless and integrated experience. Gone is the sequential collection of images and EDS data; gone is the switching between microscope and EDS system. With LCI, the imaging and EDS data collection ...
In this work, we mainly focus on the simulation of spectrum images having a spatial resolution on the order of one to a few nanometers. As such, the overall effect of beam broadening on a data-set is minimal and hence, for simplicity and tractability, it is not explicitly treated in ...
6). Elemental mapping showed Mg-rich regions associated with the platelets and crusts morphologies (Fig. 6a, d, c, d). Ca concentrations were found scattered in isolated sites and mostly associated with crust shapes (Fig. 6b, d). Element mappings of Ca and Mg (Fig. 6e, f) acquired in...
Secondary Electron and Backscattered Electron images were recorded using an FEI Quanta 650 FEG environmental scanning electron microscope while elemental analysis in the energy dispersive mode for selected areas was performed to support the mineral characterization using a Peltier-cooled Thermo Scientific ...
the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Unity is the world’s first Backscattered Electron and X-ray (BEX) Imaging detector. It seamlessly combines backscattered electron and X-ray signals to deliver rapid high-definition colour images embedded with elemental data as you navigate a...
To our view, EDX elemental mapping is necessary, but not always. In short, EDX elemental mapping is necessary for the cases where sample surfaces are of poor quality and compositional nonuniformity over the surfaces is not readily evident. For the cases where compositional nonuniformity over the ...
