SEM-EDS Webinar

Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS) is a powerful analytical technique that is routinely used for semi-quantitative elemental analysis of a wide range of materials. Routinely paired with Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) it provides an indispensable first-look technique during a Failure Analysis. With its relatively fast data acquisition, exceptional spot size and near-complete coverage of the periodic table EDS provides broad applicability to a whole range of materials. But when is EDS not enough? In this iteration of the SMART Chart webinar series we will introduce the principles of the technique and provide examples to highlight the capabilities of the technique but also discuss its limitations.
