EDAX Materials Characterization Product Offerings

Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS)  EDAX’s EDS tools are used in conjunction with electron microscopes to determine the chemical elements present in materials at the microscopic level. TEAM™ EDS Analysis Systems blend powerful elemental analysis routines with an intuitive, easy to use interface that ensures ideal data collection, analysis, and reporting for users of all levels. Coupled with Octane Silicon Drift Detector (SDD) Series, the system processes EDS data at previously unachievable speeds. Smart Features in the TEAM™ software streamline analysis and facilitate workflow, while optimizing data quality and helping EDAX users solve their characterization problems quickly and more efficiently.
Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD)  EDAX’s EBSD tools provide leading performance and groundbreaking technology for analyzing crystallographic microstructure, using electron backscatter diffraction in the SEM. TEAM™ EBSD Analysis System combines the ease of use of the TEAM™ software platform with the analytical power of OIM™ to provide state of the art crystal structure characterization to all users. Smart Features in TEAM™ software streamline camera setup and facilitate workflow, while optimizing data quality and helping EDAX users solve their characterization problems quickly and more efficiently. The TEAM™ EBSD Analysis System is offered with the Hikari XP and DigiView cameras.
Wavelength Dispersive Spectroscopy (WDS)  EDAX’s WDS tools complement EDS analysis for light element work or where elemental overlaps cause serious problems. The TEAM™ WDS Analysis System is available with two spectrometers: the Low Energy X-ray Spectrometer (LEXS) and the Transition Element X-ray Spectrometer (TEXS).
Integrated Materials Characterization Tools  EDAX’s Pegasus system provides a means for complete characterization of materials by combining the elemental information from EDS and the structural information provided by EBSD. By combining these two powerful techniques the scientist can obtain unparalleled insight into the microstructure of today’s advanced materials. The unique ChI-Scan software, combines EDS and EBSD data to improve the accuracy of materials characterization. EDAX’s Neptune system provides a seamlessly integrated product, combining the latest SDD detector technology with the next generation of WDS. Today’s material scientist often requires more in-depth analysis than an EDS is capable of producing. The resolution of overlapping lines or lower detection limits are sometimes issues that need to be addressed. EDAX’s Trident system has the ability to integrate all three microanalysis techniques, EDS, EBSD and WDS, providing combined techniques for improved speed and accuracy of data processing and analysis.
Micro X-ray Fluorescence (Micro-XRF)  EDAX’s Orbis Micro-XRF System signifies a new generation of X-ray microfluorescence systems. The X-ray sources, optics, and detectors are guaranteed to provide superior analytical results for a wide range of applications. Packed into a compact, tabletop design, the Orbis is one of the most versatile tools available for inorganic elemental analysis.
