Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectrometry (EDS) for Biology

Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectrometry (EDS) opens new dimensions for biological electron microscopy, enabling clearer ultrastructural imaging by adding compositional information.

From the detector of native, biological elements in cryo-specimens through to tissues and organisms contaminated with heavy metals, EDS can help you with:

• • Low kV analysis for high-resolution data (<2kV)
  • Detection of light elements in biological samples (incl. nitrogen) using windowless detectors
  • Sensitivity for low dose conditions and cryo-EM
  • Fast and accurate compositional analysis with a large area detector
  • Easy to interpret analytical data with automatic identification of elements
