Thermo Fisher Scientific Launches EDS X-Ray Microanalysis System
June 9, 2008 |Estimated reading time: 1 minute
MADISON, Wis. Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. unveiled the Thermo Scientific NORAN System 7, an advanced EDS X-ray microanalysis system. NORAN System 7 is equipped with a high-throughput pulse processor, spectral imaging capability, and a sophisticated software suite.
The new system produces accurate and dependable results in just a few seconds, according to the company. Its new analyzer is designed to achieve fast and precise acquisition of data. The system automatically analyzes both the X-ray spectrum and images during data acquisition to obtain the correct identification of the material under analysis. This exclusive "analysis during the acquisition" technique produces results more than ten times faster than other systems, Thermo Fisher reports.
This comprehensive system also features large-area UltraDry silicon drift detectors for the detection of X-rays down to beryllium (Be). System 7 software uses advanced peak shape fitting algorithms to accurately identify the elements in the sample while also enabling high-speed analysis and the production of high-quality spectra.
The EDS X-ray microanalysis system operates on a Direct-to-Phase software suite, which computes and displays known phases or compounds while data are still being collected. Direct-to-Phase software not only presents elemental data in maps and spectra, but it develops an information-rich picture of the sample's composition. Once the acquisition and analysis are complete, it generates a sample report in several popular file formats.
The system enables ultra fast sample processing from routine analysis to advanced research applications, said Mike Jost, VP and GM for molecular spectroscopy, microanalysis, and surface analysis group at Thermo Fisher Scientific.
