FESEM

The document describes the FESEM EDAX Testing Facility at PSGTECHS COE INDUTECH. It provides information on FESEM (Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope), which allows for higher magnification and observation of fine features at lower voltages than a typical SEM. It also describes EDAX (Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy), which is used to perform elemental microanalysis when used with FESEM and can analyze features as small as 1 micron. Typical applications for both FESEM and EDAX are listed. Contact information is provided to discuss analysis needs.

FIELD EMISSION SEM (FESEM)


FESEM is an advanced microscope offering increased magnification and the
ability to observe very fine features at a lower voltage than the SEM found in
most laboratories.
The Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope
(FESEM) has a much brighter electron source and
smaller beam size than a typical SEM increasing
the useful magnification of observation and
imaging up to 500000 x. A second advantage of
the FESEM is that high resolution imaging can be
performed with very low accelerating voltages.
This enhances the observation of very fine surface
features, electron beam sensitive materials, and
non-conductive materials.

Typical Applications
 Microscopic feature measurements
 Corrosion evaluations
 Powders evaluations
 Film evaluations
 Striation measurements for high-cycle fatigue fractures
 Coating evaluations
 Characterization of very fine specimen features
 Fracture characterization for polymers and very small components
 Surface contamination analysis
 Small component material analysis
 Laser and resistance weld evaluation
 Printed and integrated circuit analysis
 Microstructure studies

ENERGY DISPERSIVE X-RAY SPECTROSCOPY (EDAX)


EDAX is an elemental chemical microanalysis technique performed in
conjunction with FESEM. Features or phases as small as about 1 micron
can be analyzed.
EDAX analysis detects x-rays emitted from the sample during
bombardment by the SEM electron beam and characterizes
the elemental chemical composition of the analyzed volume.
EDS is capable of obtaining rapid qualitative chemical
information, semi-quantitative composition determinations,
maps showing lateral distribution of chemical elements, and
compositional profiles across a surface.

Typical Applications
 Foreign material analysis
 Corrosion evaluation
 Coating composition analysis
 Rapid material alloy identification
 Small component material analysis
 Phase identification and distribution
 Elemental mapping
 Line scanning
