5 Day Course Description (Mahwah, NJ)
This course covers Basic and Advanced Theory and Practical Applications.
This Microanalysis Training Course is designed for EDAX system operators who would like to gain a better understanding of the basics of EDS fundamentals, as well as hands on experience with the EDAX Genesis software. The course will cover Basic Theory as applicable to understanding the functionality of EDS and Genesis. Emphasis will be on the Genesis software routines, Spectrum Acquisition, Qualitative/Quantitative, Imaging, Mapping, Linescan, and Reporting. In addition, details on Advanced Theory of EDS signal generation, hardware configuration, geometry considerations, and processing (amp) times will be covered. Additional software exposure will include Particle Analysis, Phase Cluster Analysis, and Spectrum Utilities. Considerations for optimizing parameters for specific applications and sample needs will be covered. Each attendee will have access to a computer with Genesis software. The course includes lectures, lab sessions on a live SEM/EDAX system and tutorials. Attendees will receive their own copy of the training manual and software movies. Select to register on line.
Training time is from 9:00 AM to 4:45 PM Monday through Thursday and from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM on Friday.
