Resolve Overlaps & identify trace elements using WDS Scan in AZtecWave

WDS Scan is a new workflow in AZtecWave that enables the positive identification of elements affected by peak overlaps in the EDS spectrum, and/or present in trace concentrations (Less than 0.1 wt%).
Several different sample types will be presented as examples, including minerals, metals, and solder used in electronics. In addition, the tutorial will include demonstrations of how to; (1) acquire WDS scans using the different setup tools available, (2) identify the element lines present, and (3) compare multiple WDS scans and EDS spectra.

30 kV STEM-SEM – Fully utilising the SEM to acquire nanoscale EDS & reduce TEM workload

A technique that has yet to be widely adopted across the microscopy community, we feel that STEM-SEM provides a strong alternative to traditional TEM and STEM. It has shown to be extremely effective when analysing features with sizes between 3 and 100 nm, whilst requiring significantly less column alignment and faster turn around when imaging a range of samples.
