For quantitative elemental information at any time
The Axia ChemiSEM is designed to make SEM more accessible and easier to use, with convenient automated features and live EDS elemental mapping.
Unlike traditional SEMs, it collects EDS data continuously in the background. Unique algorithms process SEM and EDS signals simultaneously, so you can view the morphology and quantitative elemental composition of a sample together, in real time.

How SEM/EDS is used in failure analysis of steel, with examples of bend test failures, coating defects and corrosion in the automotive industry.
SEM-EDS can be used to characterise the composition of polymer composites. This is useful in failure analysis, to detect and identify contaminants and defects, and to check homogeneity.
Combined SEM-EDS can be used to locate and identify contamination quickly and easily. The Thermo Scientific Axia ChemiSEM fully integrates the two techniques.
