EPMA: A Revolutionary Approach to Micro-Analysis
Recently, there is an increased demand for surface observation & analysis of elemental distribution on sample surfaces, particularly for metals where it can be used for failure analyses.
Being the most effective non-destructive technique for qualitative and quantitative elemental analysis, Shimadzu would like to introduce the Electron Probe Micro-Analyzer (EPMA) as a precise & accurate technique for surface characterization.
Learning Objectives:
Understand the principles behind EPMA
Understand the difference between EPMA and SEM-EDS
Explore how you can conduct micro-analysis using EPMA
