among all EU member countries continues. However, with little progress from the EU itself, the IEC is
considering standardizing inspection methods.

Elemental Analysis
How It Works
An X-ray source irradiates a sample, which in turn emits fluorescent x-rays. The fluorescent X-rays are characteristic of the material. This information is used to identify an unknown sample.
The intensity of the X-rays is indicative of the concentration of the material within a sample. If a standard is available, a calibration curve can be developed to measure the concentration accurately.
On the other hand, it is possible to estimate the concentration using theoretical method in the absence of a standard.
Major Advantages

How It Works
An X-ray source irradiates a sample, which in turn emits fluorescent x-rays. The fluorescent X-rays are characteristic of the material. This information is used to identify an unknown sample. The intensity of the X-rays is indicative of the concentration of the material within a sample. If standards are available, a calibration curve can be developed to measure the concentration accurately. On the other hand, it is possible to use theoretical method to estimate the concentration, if a standard is not available.
Unlike EDX spectrometers, WDX spectrometers use crystals to diffract the wavelengths of fluorescent X-rays before they reach detectors. As a result, the WDX spectrometers typically have better resolution several times over EDX spectrometers.
Major Advantages
Unlike ICP analysis or AAS analysis which requires meticulous sample pre-treatments, WDX analysis requires minimum or no sample pre-treatment. For example, grinding a solid sample to homogenize the compound. Quantitation is possible in the absence of a standard. This Is accomplished using theoretical approximation.

OpticalEmissionSpectrometer
OES
Highly accurate elemental analysis of ferrous & non-ferrous metals
How It Works
This analytical technique is commonly known as “arc spark spectrometry”. This is because it uses a short pulse of electrical spark to transfer energy to the atoms in the metal samples, which in turn emits lights that are characteristic of the material. This information is used to identify its chemical composition. The intensity of the light is indicative of the concentration of the material within a sample. With standard samples available, a calibration curve can be developed to measure the concentration accurately.
Optical emission spectrometers use diffracting grating to diffract the wavelengths of light before they reach detectors. As there is an array of detectors, an analysis of tens of elements can be performed within a minute. Optical emission spectrometers typically are capable of low detection limit. In Shimadzu’s optical emission spectrometers, various unique features, such as the time-resolution analysis and pulse distribution analysis (PDA) photometry, make them the most sensitive and precise OES on the market.
Major Advantages
Unlike ICP analysis or AAS analysis which requires meticulous sample pre-treatments, OES analysis requires minimum sample pre-treatment. Only need to polish the sample surface to make sure it is free from contaminants and is uniformly flat. The analysis is non destructive.

ElectronProbeMicroAnalyser
EPMA
A powerful tool capable of high resolution imaging and high resolution analysis of chemical composition, chemical state and even crystalline structure. A far more superior instrument than scanning electron microscope with EDX (SEM + EDX).
How It Works
EPMA has an electron gun and a sophisticated optics system. By varying energy of electron beams, interactions between incident electron beam and sample produce signals. These signals are captured with appropriate detectors to yield backscatter images and secondary electron images. With the presence of an optical microscope, optical images complement the information provided by electron images.
Wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence (WDX) spectrometry is typically an integral part of EPMA. Instead of X-ray photons as the excitation energy as in the case of a standalone WDX system, EPMA uses electron beams to generate the effects. Additional analytical techniques such as energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) fluorescence spectrometry and cathode-luminescence attachment can be added.
Major Advantages
The superb WDX resolution is the source of EPMA advantages. It enables wide range of elemental analysis and mapping, as well as chemical state analysis. The latter is not possible in a SEM with EDX.

X-Ray Photoelectron Spectrometer (XPS) analyses the chemical compositions and chemical state in a material. Sampling depth is typically 10nm. It is a critical tool for material failure analysis as well as cutting-edge material innovation and development. XPS is also known as Electron Spectroscopy for Chemical Analysis (ESCA).
How It Works
An X-ray source imparts photons of energy onto sample. The absorbed energy causes some electrons to break free from its shell and eject out. They are guided and assisted towards a detector by electrostatic and magnetic lens in a ultra high vacuum atmosphere. XPS has spectroscopy and imaging capabilities. It can measure all the elements except hydrogen (Z=1) and helium (Z=2). Modern XPS is also capable of multiple analytical techniques, eg. auger electron spectroscopy (AES) and ultra-violet photoelectron spectroscopy, that increase its functionality.

SPM
Sample observation down to atomic resolution. It is used for surface morphologic and topographic study.
How It Works
SPM consists of a cantilever with a sharp tip at its end that is used to scan the sample surface. When the tip is brought into close range of a surface, forces between the tip and surface cause a deflection of the cantilever. A laser spot is used to measure the deflection by reflecting it off the top surface of the cantilever onto a detector. Several forces can be imaged, measured and even manipulated. Some common examples are mechanical contact force, magnetic force, electric current etc. Measurements can be done in air, vacuum or liquid environment. Effects of temperature, humidity, gas and electrochemistry on samples can be studied.
Major Advantages
Ultra high resolution analysis of surface of materials. A wide variety of sample characteristics can be analysed. Relevant to a big spectrum of industry.

E.coli bacteria • Metals, eg. boundary surface of plating layer• Non metals, eg. ferroelectric domains• Minerals, eg. observation of calcite in solution• Ceramics, eg. film dispersed with silica• Polymers, eg.
