Pegasus (EDS-EBSD) System

EDAX Pegasus is a world-class materials characterization solution that provides users with elemental composition and crystallographic orientation results in one easy-to-use package. By combing powerful analytical energy dispersive spectroscopy – electron backscatter diffraction (EDS – EBSD) routines, the intuitive APEX™ software connects these techniques to collect and report high-quality data quickly, easily, and reliably. Paired with EDAX hardware, APEX increases user productivity and offers the best solution for simultaneous EDS – EBSD microstructural characterization.

TEAM™ Pegasus

 

Integrated EDS – EBSD

  • Simultaneously obtains structural and crystallographic information using a fully integrated EDS – EBSD system
  • ChI-Scan™ functionality uses EDS compositional with EBSD crystallographic information to improve phase mapping and EBSD indexing
  • Employs advanced EDS quantification with optimization to address high-tilt EBSD geometries
EBSD Image Quality and IPF Orientation Map of an Al-Cu-Mg alloy were simultaneously collected then shown as a combined EDS – EBSD dataset.

Features and benefits

High throughput 3D EDS – EBSD
  • Fastest acquisition available of any integrated EDS – EBSD solution using the Octane Elite and Octane Elect EDS detectors and Velocity™ EBSD detectors
  • Highest transmissivity Si3N4 window in all EDS detectors to enhance the signal at low-dose and low kV operation
  • EBSD Confidence Index value provides a quantitative quality measurement for the crystallographic indexing solution
Direct detection EBSD
  • The ultimate EBSD detector series, Clarity™ employs direct detection technology with an unsurpassed performance at low dose and low kV analytical conditions
