What is Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS/EDX)?
Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS or EDX) is an analytical technique used for the elemental analysis or chemical characterization of a sample. It relies on the interaction of some source of X-ray excitation and a sample. The fundamental principle involves the emission of characteristic X-rays from a material that is being excited by a high-energy beam of electrons.
