Introduction

The EM-Tec EDX-Checker has been developed as a cost-efficient tool for quick and easy checking of calibration, performance, and resolution of an EDX system on an SEM.  Regular use of the EDX-Checker ensures optimum performance of the EDX detector. The EM-Tec EDX-Checker consists of a standard aluminium SEM pin stub with Nickel TEM grids and the selection of reference materials Bn, C, PTFE, Mn, Co, Al/Cu and AISI 316L embedded in a vacuum compatible epoxy. The EDX-Checker stub with the reference materials is polished down to 0.5um and coated with carbon. The additional Boron Nitride is not carbon coated:

  • Quick and easy EDX calibration and performance check
  • Ideal for EDX Systems from EDAX, Thermo, Bruker, Oxford Instruments, IXRF, Phenom and JEOL
  • Polished surface – no topography artefacts with the reference materials
  • Available in two versions
  • Known and consistent take-off angle due to polished surface
  • Hexagonal white BN does not need conductive carbon coating
  • Low magnification image and X-ray mapping calibration
  • Compact and cost effective
  • Available as pin stub and with adapters for JEOL and Hitachi SEMs

The EM-Tec EDX-Checker is available in 3 versions:

  • EDX-Checker S-7 with C, PTFE, Mn, Co and Al/Cu as reference materials and Ni grids with 400 plus 1000 mesh for quick magnification calibration and mapping check. Ideally suited for table top SEMs with EDS.
  • EDX-Checker S-8 with C, PTFE, Mn, Co and Al/Cu as reference materials, AISI 316L for quantitative analysis check and Ni grids with 400 plus 1000 mesh for quick magnification calibration and mapping check. Ideally suited for SEMs and table top SEMs with EDS.
  • EDX-Checker LE-10 with BN, C, PTFE, Mn, Co and Al/Cu as reference materials, AISI 316L for quantitative analysis check and a 400mesh Nickel grid for quick magnification calibration and mapping check. Optimised for low element performance check.
EDX-Checker with pin stored in tube. EDX-Checker with JEOL Ø25mm adapter. EDX-Checker with Hitachi M4 adapter.
