Boron substrates for SEM/EDS Analysis - Brochure

A considerable number of natural and artificial materials are made of light elements like carbon (e.g. soot), nitrogen (e.g. nitrates) and oxygen (e.g. minerals). Advances in EDX (energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy) technology enable nowadays the measurement and semi-quantitative determination of light elements in micro- and nano-materials by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
