Understanding the environment involves more than analyzing heavy pollution from industries. The observation and analyses of existing ecosystems over a long period of time and separate checks for events such as volcanic eruptions are equally important.
With the Phenom desktop scanning electron microscope, sample structures can be physically examined and their microscopic structure analyzed. Often this is not sufficient to understand the processes behind what has been examined. An elemental analysis can help to gain additional data on the particles or structures observed.
The Phenom ProX with integrated EDS detection is a powerful tool for a deeper understanding of the structure and elemental composition of various specimens. The microanalysis performed is a non-destructive analytical technique, capable of elemental analysis for micro volumes.
