NEON40EsB field emission scanning electron microscope with EDXS and EBSD

  1. microscope
    • Mapping of surface, ground or broken surfaces of:
      • Starting materials (powders, fibers, foils)
      • Materials, composite materials and composite materials
      • coatings
      • components
    • Magnifications: 50x to 100,000x
    • detectors:
      • Chamber detector for secondary electrons
      • Chamber detector for backscattered electrons
      • Inlens detector for secondary electrons
      • Inlens detector for backscattered electrons
      • Light and dark field detector for transmitted electrons
  2. Energy dispersive X-ray microscope analysis (EDXS) EDAX Genesis
    • Local chemical analysis on flat surfaces:
      • for elements with order number Z ≥ 8
      • Detection limit approx. 0.5% by weight for Z ≥ 11
      • Quantification error approx. 2% by weight for main components
      • Species:
        • Average Analysis
        • Phase analysis (for particle size > 1 μm)
        • Element concentration distribution along a line (linescan)
        • Two-dimensional element concentration distribution (mapping)
  3. Backscattered electron diffraction (EBSD) EDAX TSL
    • Grain orientation analysis, orientation mapping, texture analysis
    • Identification of crystalline phases, phase mapping
