The dynamic nature of BEAM means that each element can have an impact on the others. If we adjust one aspect, such as questioning an assumption, it can lead to shifts in expectations and ...

EDS works by focusing an electron beam onto the sample, which causes the sample to emit X-rays. Each element emits X-rays at unique energy levels, allowing for the identification and quantification of ...

The focused beam passes through an aperture in the Maia detector onto the raster-scanned sample. The X-ray photon events are detected in a backscatter geometry and analysed to produce elemental and ...
