QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITIONAL ANALYSER FOR USE WITH SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPES

An analysis system for a scanning electron microscope having a backscattered electron detector. The output of the detector is amplified, processed by an analogue to digital converter, mutli-channel analyser, and digital conversion and processing circuit to generate a signal indicative of the atomic...

Zusammenfassung:An analysis system for a scanning electron microscope having a backscattered electron detector. The output of the detector is amplified, processed by an analogue to digital converter, mutli-channel analyser, and digital conversion and processing circuit to generate a signal indicative of the atomic number factor of the specimen. Calculation of stoichiometric valence combinations of non-elemental specimens is also disclosed. A calibration device is also disclosed.
