Spectrum Analysis

Whatever your level of expertise, AZtecLive will be there to guide you from start to finish or give you the tools to find your own way. From automatic peak identification, to accurate quantification, AZtecLive ensures you don’t have to be an expert to get quality results.

AZtecMatch offers users the capability to automatically identify an acquired spectrum.

  • No need to wait for an expert user to identify a spectrum
  • AZtecMatch looks at the quant from the spectrum and matches the results against a database of known standards.
  • AZtecMatch comes with a minerals database as standard
  • Users can create their own application specific databases based on their own samples

Point&ID has been designed to take advantage of the high count rates generated by the latest SDD detectors to deliver accurate specimen information in real-time. Simply select the area to analyse, and it only takes a few seconds to acquire a spectrum:

  • Elements are identified using an improved version of our field-proven automatic PeakID routine
  • The composition is displayed in the unique MiniQuant using the accuracy of the new Tru-Q technology
  • Annotate and e-mail results directly from the software

Tru-Q® Analysis Engine

New Tru-Q technology takes standardless analysis to the next level and ensures that AZtec gives you the best ‘out of the box’ results

  • QCAL – Robust spectrum processing that works in all situations with no need for any background fitting adjustment
  • FLS – Complete detector and hardware characterisation for true standardless analysis
  • XPP – Matrix correction with proven accuracy beyond that possible with ZAF or Phi-Rho-Z
  • PPC - Automatic correction for pulse pile-up at high count rate, making accurate quant at 200,000cps a reality

Quantitative Analysis in the TEM

New Tru-Q technology takes standardless analysis to the next level and ensures that AZtec gives you the best ‘out of the box’ results

  • Modified Cliff-Lorimer – TEM quant that allows sample thickness and density to be taken into consideration
  • Theoretical or user-defined k-factors can be applied
  • K, L or M lines can be chosen for quantitative analysis
  • PPC - Automatic correction for pulse pile-up at high count making accurate quant at 400,000 cps a reality
  • Removal of unwanted non-sample peaks (e.g. Cu from grid)
AZtecLive & Ultim Max

AZtecLive takes the EDS technique from the static to the dynamic with real-time chemical imaging. AZtecLive is powered by Ultim Max, the next generation SDD detectors combining the largest sensor sizes with Extreme electronics to deliver unparalleled speed and sensitivity.

AZtecLive In Depth: TruMap

This application note shows how TruMap displays in real-time the real variations of elements in a sample. It describes how minor element variations in a refractory oxide containing slag sample created during clean steel manufacture can be studied.
