Quantitative EDS Explained: How to achieve great results

Webinar: Watch on demand

This webinar explains the science behind the Oxford Instruments technologies and algorithms, as well as, how to achieve accurate, un-normalized quantitative results using an Oxford Instruments EDS system and the ‘standardless’ approach. Additionally, the use of EDS to produce high-quality results using Oxford Instruments software with a standard-based method will be explained, with published examples from the field of Earth Science.

Key learning objectives:

The science and methodology behind EDS analysis and data processing
The Oxford Instruments approach to ‘standardless’ quantitative EDS analysis
How to achieve excellent results and validate the quantitative analysis obtained from your SEM-EDS system

Presenter: Dr Simon Burgess

Dr Simon Burgess graduated with a PhD from Edinburgh University. He joined Oxford Instruments in 1997 and has always worked with a strong focus in product management and development. Simon has focused his research on the development of EDS and WDS systems, in particular hardware such as large area SDD and Extreme ultra-high sensitivity detectors. He is currently working as a business manager for EDS and WDS within the product marketing team.

Presenter: Dr Duncan Muir

Dr Duncan Muir runs the Earth Sciences Electron Microbeam Facility at Cardiff University, assisting users with their scanning electron microscope (SEM) related imaging and chemical analysis. He also uses electron microscopy and microanalysis for his own research investigating magma system processes of subduction zone volcanoes. The Electron Microbeam Facility at Cardiff University provides a service to both academic and commercial users.
