Used EDAX 9100 #126390 for sale

EDAX 9100 is a scanning electron microscope from the Optima series of EDAX. It is a combination of Digital Micro-Beam Analyzers (DMA) and Particle Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE). This microscope provides the ability to analyze materials using electron and X-ray beam detection. 9100 takes images at very high resolution and provides the capability to measure the elemental composition of the sample. EDAX 9100 operates on the principles of SEM and EDS. The SEM component allows an electron beam to interact with the sample creating an image of its surface with high resolution. This image allows researchers to analyze its physical and chemical properties in great detail. The EDS portion of 9100 is used to measure the electronic energy loss of the emitted X-rays due to samples composition. This data is then used to provide an accurate measurement of the elemental composition of the sample. EDAX 9100 is a powerful tool for researchers using minerals, materials, and organic materials in their research. By combining SEM and EDS, it allows researchers to rapidly evaluate both the microstructure and elemental composition of their sample. This rapid evaluation is sometimes indispensible for research that require short measurement times. It is also useful for thin film analysis, since X-ray beam interactions occur in the surface layers of the sample. 9100 can be operated in several modes, including Point Mapping, Line Mapping, and Area Mapping. Point mapping allows researchers to measure the elemental composition of an individual area or spot. Line mapping records the variation of the elemental composition as a line scan across the surface. Area mapping provides the capability to measure the elemental composition across a larger area of the sample. Overall, EDAX 9100 is an advanced scanning electron microscope which allows researchers to quickly evaluate the elemental composition of their sample. By combining SEM and EDS, it provides researchers with a powerful and flexible tool for performing rapid elemental analysis. Furthermore, the ability to make measurement in Point, Line, and Area Mapping modes provides researchers with a wealth of options for their research.
