Electron Microprobe Analytical Services - EPMA

An Electron Microprobe produces a one micron electron beam to perform high resolution quantitative analysis of trace, minor and major elements in mission critical components. An array of Wavelength Dispersive Spectrometers are used to detect elemental x-rays from 1 - 3 microns below the sample surface. Electron imaging and  x-ray maps show surface conditions and elemental distribution of a sample. Imaging Detectors: Backscattered Electron (BSE), Secondary Electron (SE), and Transmitted Electron (TE)
