The Orion Camera Series offers two different models:
- Orion Plus - up to 1,500 indexed points per second
- Orion Super – up to 3,000 indexed points per second
For both models, these speeds can be achieved while providing indexing success rates up to 99% or better. At these speeds, the Orion cameras utilize 120 x 120 pixel images for improved band detection. This image resolution, combined with EDAX’s proven triplet indexing routine, provides orientation precision values of less than 0.1⁰ without needing any specialized processing routines for accurate EBSD characterization deformed microstructures.
EBSD orientation map from deformed Inconel 600 alloy at 1,500 indexed patterns per second with Orion Plus.
EBSD orientation map from additively manufactured nickel superalloy collected at 3,000 indexed patterns per second with Orion Super.
The performance of the Orion camera extends to a wide range of materials, including lower symmetry, multi-phase, and deformed structures. The Orion Series enables efficient data collection on these real-world samples with the quality results needed for optimal materials analysis.
The Orion EBSD cameras can be integrated with compatible EDAX EDS detectors for efficient simultaneous EDS-EBSD collection, even at the highest collection speeds. When combined with ChI-Scan™ analysis, this results in useful integrated data for accurate phase differentiation.
