The Eagle III µProbe from EDAX is one of the most unparalleled units for elemental analysis, built into a
compact, tabletop design. The Eagle is a highly versatile unit due to its non-destructive analysis and
wide range of applications. 

To further your education on Micro-XRF and to get the most out of your system, EDAX offers a training
course twice a year, covering the Eagle's Vision32 software, hardware, features, applications, and more. 
The course will be held at our EDAX headquarters in Mahwah, NJ and is open to all Eagle III customers. 
The course utilizes informative lectures along with hands-on lab and computer demos, and customer
sample analysis. For more information, please register on line .
