Spectral imaging in X-ray microanalysis is the collection of the total energy spectrum of a specimen at every pixel of a raster scan in a scanning electron microscope or transmission electron microscope. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometers are used to collect the spectra...

Quantitative metallography is often used to confirm the proper processing of aerospace metallic materials...

Currently international standards are being developed for electron microscopy and microanalysis...

An electron probe microanalyzer equipped for wavelength-dispersive spectrometry can be used to obtain a set of large-area elemental X-ray maps of composite samples by moving the sample stage and keeping the electron beam stationary...

The environmental scanning electron microscope represents one of the most exciting breakthroughs in electron microscopy since the invention of the electron microscope...
