X-ray Map Software Overview

Powerful x-ray mapping features separate IXRF's software from most EDS systems. The ability to quickly acquire, overlay, and quantify x-ray maps, is simply unparalleled. EDS spectra are stored with each pixel, allowing you to create additional maps without re-acquiring.

• One click acquisition of an x-ray map; simply label the peaks on the spectrum and click the x-ray map button
• FastMap technology stores all spectral data and their corresponding locations. This way, you can create additional maps in seconds for any element and any line series for that element
• Rapid and flexible map acquisitions using point dwell times as short as 10 microseconds
• Maximum X-ray Map resolutions (per element) is 2048 x 2048
• Simultaneous acquisitions of 31 X-ray Maps along with the SEM image
• Live spectrum display during X-ray Map acquisitions
• Composite maps provide overlaying of maps on the SEM image
• Real-time quantitative analysis display at each map pixel
• Export X-ray maps to a variety of standard image file formats (e.g., TIFF, JPEG) or ASCII
• Display maps over the SEM image in actual WT% values, simplifying quantitative X-ray Mapping
