Is Scanning Electron Microscopy/Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectrometry (SEM/EDS) Quantitative?

TL;DR: Scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (SEM/EDS) is a widely applied elemental microanalysis method capable of identifying and quantifying all elements in the periodic table except H, He, and Li, but measurement issues continue to diminish the impact.
Journal ArticleDOI

Performing elemental microanalysis with high accuracy and high precision by scanning electron microscopy/silicon drift detector energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry (SEM/SDD-EDS)

TL;DR: Accurate analyses of low atomic number elements, C, N, O, and F, are demonstrated and measurement of trace constituents with limits of detection below 0.001 mass fraction is possible within a practical measurement time of 500 s.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spectrum simulation in DTSA-II.

TL;DR: DTSA-II, software for electron probe microanalysis, provides both easy to use and flexible tools for simulating common and less common sample geometries and materials and provides tools for visualizing, comparing, manipulating, and quantifying simulated and measured spectra.
Journal ArticleDOI

A new Monte Carlo application for complex sample geometries

TL;DR: NISTMonte as discussed by the authors is a new application for Monte Carlo simulation of electron transport, X-ray generation and transmission in complex sample geometries using Mott cross section and Joy-Luo expression.
