SEM / EDS Analysis Added to Materials Testing & Failure Analysis Capabilities at Laboratory Testing Inc

Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectrometry (EDS / EDX) have been added to the materials testing and failure analysis capabilities performed at Laboratory Testing Inc. of Hatfield, PA.

2010-08-12
HATFIELD, PA, August 12, 2010 (Press-News.org) Laboratory Testing Inc. (LTI) now performs Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectrometry (EDS / EDX) for enhanced materials testing and failure analysis capabilities. The testing laboratory recently purchased a Hitachi S-3400N SEM and EDAX EDS to provide greater customer convenience and timelier turnaround than was available with subcontracted services.

The Hitachi SEM features a variable pressure system capable of accommodating wet and/or non-conductive samples with minimal preparation. The SEM is able to produce high resolution images at magnifications from 5X to 300,000X. The large sample chamber allows for the examination of samples up to 200 mm (7.87 in.) in diameter and 80 mm (3.14 in.) in height.

The Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectrometry or EDS component is applied in conjunction with Scanning Electron Microscopy or SEM analysis to detect and measure elements in or on the surface of the sample for qualitative analysis and/or quantitative information on a sample's elemental composition. The new SEM and EDAX EDS equipment at Laboratory Testing is particularly helpful in microanalysis and analyzing small areas of interest on samples. The EDAX EDS features a silicon drift detector (SDD) that offers superior speed and energy resolution compared with traditional SiLi detectors. The system is powered by the new TEAM software package that facilitates material characterization via methods such as spectral analysis, line scans, and element mapping.

For more information or to place an order for SEM/EDS, please contact Laboratory Testing Inc. Sales/Customer Service at sales@labtesting.com or 800-219-9095.
