The Backscattered Electron and X-ray (BEX) system from Oxford NanoAnalysis is an advanced tool that combines morphological and chemical analysis of samples on a nanometric scale. It uses backscattered electrons (BSE) to obtain high-resolution images of the material's surface, providing topographical and morphological details. Additionally, it integrates energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), allowing for precise chemical composition analysis, mapping the elements present with high sensitivity, even at low concentrations.
The system is designed to be compatible with SEM and TEM electron microscopes, offering great versatility for applications. With a highly sensitive BSE detector and an EDX detector that analyzes X-rays emitted from the sample, the system provides a comprehensive view of both the physical and chemical characteristics of the sample.
Moreover, the included software enables advanced data visualization and processing, ensuring precise analysis and efficient management of results. The system is ideal for applications in battery materials, nanotechnology, minerals, semiconductors, and forensic analysis, such as gunshot residue analysis.
