Deployed on electron microscopes to provide chemical information in addition to the microscope’s imaging capabilities, the NORAN System SIX is now powered by Direct-to-Phase software to perform energy dispersive spectroscopy analyses concurrently with sample acquisitions, thus enabling scientists to make better informed decisions across a range of industries. Combined with a 30 mm2 silicon drift detector, the microanalysis system is designed to operate at ten times the efficiency of traditional X-ray microanalysis systems.
