[EPMA] Electron Probe Micro Analyzer

By analyzing the characteristic X-rays generated when a finely focused electron beam is irradiated onto the surface of a solid sample in a vacuum, insights can be gained regarding the identification of elements and quantitative values.

By analyzing characteristic X-rays using a wavelength dispersive X-ray spectrometer (WDX), measurements with higher sensitivity than those obtained with an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDX) can be achieved. Additionally, using soft X-ray emission spectroscopy (SXES) allows for the acquisition of information regarding local chemical bonding states.
