X-rays, a type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths from 0.01 to 10 nanometers, pack enough energy to pierce materials and interact with inner-shell electrons. 1 When they hit a sample, ...

A variety of signals that carry different details about the sample are produced by the electron beam-matter interaction (Figure 1). Every atom possesses a unique quantity of electrons that reside ...

EDS works by focusing an electron beam onto the sample, which causes the sample to emit X-rays. Each element emits X-rays at unique energy levels, allowing for the identification and quantification of ...

APEX TM EDS is EDAX's premier software tool for gathering and evaluating energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS/EDX) data and material compositional characterization. The user-friendly interface, ...
