The low energy of these electrons allows them to be collected easily. This is achieved by placing a positively biased grill on the front of the SE detector, which is positioned off to one side of the specimen. The major influence on

These BSE are used to produce a different kind of image. Such an image uses contrast to tell us about the average atomic number of the sample. The higher the average atomic number, the more

Energy dispersive analysis, also known as EDS, is a technique used to identify the elemental composition of a sample or small area of interest on the sample.

EDS
11 11
During EDS, a sample is exposed to an electron beam inside a scanning electron microscope (SEM). These electrons collide with the electrons within the sample, causing some of them to be knocked out of their orbits. The vacated positions are filled by higher energy electrons which emit x-rays in the process.

Of the two X-ray microanalysis techniques for qualitative analysis, Wavelength Dispersive Spectrometry (WDS) analysis is distinctly different from energy dispersive (EDS) analysis. WDS identifies the

WDS EDS
WDS is used to solve various spectral problems described elsewhere in this module the resolution of an WDS detector is considerably better than that of a EDS spectrometer.

EDS is first used for element identification, for fast analysis of the entire spectrum Using EDS, all of the energies of the characteristic X-rays incident on the detector are measured simultaneously and data acquisition is therefore very rapid across the Abadan Institute of entire spectrum
The presence of tungsten in the ED spectrum (yellow) is masked by the Si K lines while the two are clearly distinguishable in the WD spectrum (blue).
