Exciting news! I ran my first EDS analysis today on a scale sample.Although this was a preliminary run for the purpose of optimizing experimental parameters, I was still able to collect some data. ...

Below is an image published by another group, depicting a spectral analysis output of a fish scale transection. Their subject species is the common carp. We expect ours to look similar, however, si...

Although dedicated spectral imaging instruments exist, often they are coupled with scanning electron microscopes as a modular extension. This is the way our SEM is configured (depicted in the photo...
