CSX Calibration Standards
EM-Tec CXS calibration and RXS reference standards for EDS, WDS and BSD
compact & practical analytical standards
Order EM-Tec CXS calibration and reference standards for EDS, WDS and BSD
Introduction The EM-Tec CXS calibration and reference standards are designed for calibration, resolution testing and performance testing. Each standard contains a selection of reference materials, in the form of element or compounds, optimized for specific calibration tasks. They are available with two types of practical and compact holders: - Compact Ø12.7mm standard aluminium pin stub with up to 10 elements/compounds. The pin stub holder is compatible with FEI, Philips, Zeiss, Leo, Tescan, Phenom, Aspex, Leica, Cambridge instrument and CamScan SEMs |
Example EM-Tec RXS-10PD peak deconvolution test standard, 10 materials plus F/C on pin stub |
|
The elements/compounds are all mounted with highly conductive and vacuum compatible silver filled epoxy. The mounts are then polished to ensure that all the elements/compounds are in the same plane. Virtually all standards include a Faraday cup to enable electron probe measurements and monitoring. The calibration standards with non-conductive elements/compounds are carbon coated to ensure conductivity and avoid charging.
For using the calibration standards on JEOL and Hitachi SEM, please consult the page with the EM-Tec SEM stub adapters.
The Em-Tec calibration and reference standards are intended for calibration and testing of:
- SEM / EDS systems and/or SEM / WDS systems
- SEM back scattered electron detector (BSD)
- SEM cathode-luminescence (CL) detector
- SEM / Raman system
-SEM / micro-XRF systems
- micro-XRF systems
