EDS (Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy) also known as Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS, EDX, EDXS or XEDS), sometimes called energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDXA or EDAX) or energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis (EDXMA)

When imaging with an electron beam, the preparation atoms emit characteristic X -rays, which is unique to every element. The advanced EDS detector collects this signal and conducts an analysis of the elemental composition point, linear or surface. It is possible to create a map that presents the distribution of identified elements

The combination of modern EDS detector and software has a very good energy resolution and an extraordinary degree of efficiency. The vibration-free cooling system makes the detector one of the most advanced devices on the market for high-resolution analysis and detection of elements from 4Be to 95Am.

The EDS technique enables testing the composition of the surface surface and their cross -sections. Very useful technique to analyze defects or analysis of designed advanced materials.
