What is Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX)?
Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (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 of EDX is that each element has a unique atomic structure, allowing unique X-ray energy peaks to be identified in the X-ray spectrum.
