Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is a very high imaging magnification also performed with an electron microscope to view thin material cross-sections and specimens (nanoparticles, tissue sections, molecules, etc) through which electrons can pass generating a projection image. TEM is analogous in many ways to the conventional (compound) light microscope with greater magnification and detail. Image Magnification from […]

EDAX (Energy Dispersive Analysis by X-Ray (EDX, EDS)
A typical EDX SPECTRA (elemental) result is shown in photo at left. The elemental spectral peaks are identified during the x-ray scan. The individual elements are indicated in the spectra by both their intensity and scan position. The greater the intensity, the higher the element concentration in the sample. The spectra shown illustrates the elemental […]
