Strategies for Standardizing EDS Measurements

Abstract

Energy dispersive X-ray spectrometers (EDS) are capable of precise and accurate electron beam measurements of composition. However, the optimal strategies for acquiring EDS standards differ from its wavelength dispersive cousin. There is a lot more information in an EDS spectrum that can be used to evaluate its quality. This information can be used to perform inter-comparisons between multiple spectra collected from the same material.
