Oxford Xplore Compact EDS for Tabletop SEM

The Xplore EDS from Oxford Instruments for the EM-30 Tabletop SEM uses Oxford’s renowned AZtec software platform for simple or advanced Elemental Micro-Analysis with a large 30mm2 detector size. The Oxford AZtec software is available in 3 versions with the Xplore EDS detectors to suit different user requirements from basic to advanced EDS micro-analysis.

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. With the most optimal take-off angle of any Tabletop SEM, the EDS signal is collected at an optimum solid angle unlike other tabletop SEM designs.
