Energy Dispersive Spectrometer System for Ultrahigh Resolution Scanning Electron Microscope

我们需要一套能量色散X射线能谱(EDS)探测器系统，用于麦克马斯特大学最近购买的超高分辨率扫描电子显微镜(UHR-SEM)。这种分析附件对于分析扫描电子显微镜中表征的样品的化学成分是必不可少的。该工具包括元素测绘和量化软件，对于确定需要分析的阶段、绘制感兴趣地区的元素分布图以便能够确定需要研究的具体领域是必不可少的。几个研究小组将从所要求的仪器中受益。项目包括汽车和核应用中的腐蚀和氧化分析、光伏材料、有机-无机复合材料、发光二极管、燃料电池、电池和生物材料中的界面。如果没有这一要求的仪器，这项研究和许多研究项目的进展将受到严重限制，数据的可靠性也将受到影响。

We are requesting an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS) detector system for our ultrahigh resolution scanning electron microscope (UHR-SEM) recently purchased by McMaster University. This analytical attachment is essential to enable the analysis of the chemical composition of samples characterized in the SEM. The tool, which includes software for elemental mapping and quantification, is indispensable for the identification of phases that need to be analysed, map the distribution of elements in the areas of interest so that specific areas that need to be studied can be identified. Several research groups will benefit from the requested instrument. Projects include the analysis of corrosion and oxidation in automotive and nuclear applications, photovoltaic materials, organic-inorganic composites, light-emitting diodes, fuel cells, batteries, and interfaces in biomaterials. Without this requested instrument, this research and progress in numerous research projects will be severely limited and the reliability of the data will be compromised.
