Electron microprobe analysis is a sensitive technique for non-destructive quantification of the chemical composition of in situ micrometer volumes of solid mate- rial (minerals, alloys, ceramics, ...

The instrument is a dedicated field emission, wavelength dispersive electron microprobe (EPMA). Quantitative elemental data can be obtained from most elements (Fluorine to Uranium) with detection ...

This guide assumes that the reader has a basic understanding of how an electron microprobe functions, and of X-ray generation and behaviour as stipulated by the Bragg Law. In order to understand what ...

A new generation of electron microscopes is able to explore the microscopic properties of materials and devices as diverse as transistors, turbine blades and interfacial superconductors.

Electron microprobe analysis is a sensitive technique for non-destructive quantification of the chemical composition of in situ micrometer volumes of solid material (minerals, alloys, ceramics, glass, ...

Other phenomena occur during random electron collisions, such as the generation of cathodoluminescent photons ... This may sound trivial, but can be a common effect when one is operating a microprobe ...

The Perkin Elmer PHI-660 scanning Auger microprobe can be used for the compositional analysis of specimen surfaces using Auger electron spectroscopy (AES). The probe depth of AES is on the order of ...
