Electron Probe Micro Analyzer

The use of the JXA-8900M Electron Probe Micro Analyzer is a non-destructive technique that allows to carry out elemental analysis on perfectly polished surfaces up to one micron diameter. The equipment has 5 wavelength dispersion spectrometers (5 channels), which allow to cover a detection range of elements from beryllium to uranium, excluding noble gases and technetium. The capability of the software allows analysis of 27 elements in a relatively short period of time depending on the measurement conditions to be used in each case. It has detectors of images in the mode of secondary electrons, backscattered and topography.
