Apollo SDD Series for EDS Analysis

EDAX has introduced the next series of Apollo SDD detectors for X-ray microanalysis. "While the Apollo Series offers a range of detector sizes and performance levels including a large-area SDD chip," notes Judy O'Loughlin, Director of Product Marketing for EDAX, "it emphasizes a more important feature, the positioning of the detectors close to the sample, making it comparable to the best-designed Si(Li) detectors. EDAX's Apollo Series offers users the best of both worlds. All SDDs are able to map at high resolution, and all SDDs can map at high count rates. moreNov. 17, 2009

Highly Flexible CrossBeam Workstation

To study the chemical analysis, crystallographic information, the complete morphology, electrical information of various FIB-SEM samples, the Auriga Workstation from Carl Zeiss NTS features redesigned vacuum chamber, which includes a total of 15 ports for different detectors. Additionally, a charge compensation system enables the local application of an inert gas flush. In this way, electrostatic charging of non-conductive samples is neutralized and detection of secondary electrons (SE) as well as backscattered electrons (BSE) becomes feasible. moreNov. 03, 2009

Analytical Power for the Sub-Nanometer World

In recent years there has been an ongoing trend to design specialized scanning electron microscopes, dedicated to specific applications. As a result two different system configurations in the SEM market have emerged: One configuration is dedicated to deliver high resolution imaging. The other configuration is dedicated to optimized analytical performance. However, these two diverging development lines force users to decide whether they will limit their research to high resolution imaging or optimized analytical investigations. more
