The Oxford Ultim® Max EDS series from Oxford Instruments is available in 40, 65, 100 or 170mm² detector sizes for the CX-200plus Full-Size SEM utilizing Oxford’s renowned AZtecLive software platform for simple or advanced Elemental Micro-Analysis. The more affordable AZtecOne software platform designed for novice user or basic EDS micro-analysis is also available.

Adding Oxford EDS to your SEM turns it into a very powerful analytical tool allowing a multitude of capabilities using advanced micro-analysis features for elemental analysis.  The Oxford Ultim® Max EDS detectors provide very high speed analysis with large SDD and high speed post processing technology.  Take advantage of Oxford’s new AZtecLive for dynamic real-time chemical imaging.

With the full AZtecLive software platform comes the ability to add Oxford’s advanced capabilities that allow the SEM to perform analytical testing for any of the following:

• Automated Feature/Particle Analysis
• AutoPhase Mapping and Large Area EDS Mapping
• Metal Inclusion Analysis (Steel Cleanliness – ASTM E1245/E2142/E45)
• Mineral Phase Analysis, Mineral Liberation, Modal Mineralogy, Petrography
• Gun Shot Residue – GSR (ASTM E1588)
• General Particle Analysis for Cleanliness (ISO 16431/18413, IEST 1246D)
• Wear Particle Analysis (ARP 598c, ASTM D7416, ASTM F311/F312, ISO 16232-8, ISO 4407)
• Environmental Particles on Filters or Wipes (ASTM D6059, ASTM E2090, ISO 14966)
