Mining

Trace Analysis of Geological Materials with XRF

Precise, accurate trace analysis of geological materials including rocks, minerals & soils with the Bruker S8 TIGER Series 2 WD_XRF & GEO-QUANT Traces, a dedicated solution package.

Analyse Contaminants in Battery Materials with SEM-EDS

Analyse Contaminants in Battery Materials with Combined SEM / EDS

Combined SEM-EDS can be used to locate and identify contamination quickly and easily. The Thermo Scientific Axia ChemiSEM fully integrates the two techniques.

Metal Analysis

Working Towards Climate-Neutral Steel Production with OES Metals Analysis

As the steel industry works to reduce its carbon footprint, working towards climate neutral production, elemental analysis is required to maintain and monitor product quality. OES (Optical Emission Spectrometry) is a useful metals anlaysis technique to monitor concentrations of vital elements at all stages of production and recycling, as processors work to reduce emissions without compromising quality or steel grades.

In-Situ EM Video Tutorials

In-Situ EM Data Processing Tutorial Videos (Gatan Microscopy Suite: GMS 3)

A series of video tutorials demonstrating how to use Gatan’s IS player, part of GMS 3 (Gatan Microscopy Suite) software for TEM/SEM.

Identifying defects in polymers

Characterising Glass Fibre-Reinforced Polymers and Composite Materials with SEM-EDS

SEM-EDS can be used to characterise the composition of polymer composites. This is useful in failure analysis, to detect and identify contaminants and defects, and to check homogeneity.

UWBG Semiconductor Defects

Analysing Ultra-Wide Bandgap (UWBG) Semiconductors with Cathodoluminescence (CL)

Map defect distribution and variations for process development of materials for electronic / optoelectronic devices. CL is ideal for materials not suitable for photoluminescence spectroscopy.

Metals Failure Analysis

Failure Analysis of Metals with SEM / EDS

How SEM/EDS is used in failure analysis of steel, with examples of bend test failures, coating defects and corrosion in the automotive industry.

Bruker Ringing Mode AFM

Bruker Ringing Mode for Surface Adhesion Property Mapping with AFM

Ringing Mode is a new Bruker AFM mode for enhanced surface adhesion property mapping.

Empty modelling with Raman

Empty Modelling in Raman Analysis

Empty modelling identifies components and unknown materials from complex mixtures, even without knowledge of the species present.
