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
- Ø25.4 x 9mm stainless steel 303 block for larger numbers of element/compounds. Compatible with the EM-Tec M26 metallographic mount holders and the EM-Tec reference holders.

  Example
EM-Tec RXS-10PD peak deconvolution test standard, 10 materials plus F/C on pin stub
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
