What is Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS)?
Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS) is an analytical technique used for the elemental analysis or chemical characterization of a sample. It relies on the interaction between a source of X-ray excitation and a sample. The technique is often coupled with Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) to provide spatially-resolved information on the elemental composition of the sample.
