The Noran System Six from Thermo Scientific, now available in the UK from ISS, includes a set of tools exclusively designed for spectral imaging data
ISS announces the UK availability of the latest microanalysis technology from Thermo Scientific: the Noran System Six, described as the simplest instrument on the market to get microscopists to their final answer in the shortest possible time.
Its spectral imaging tools include automated acquisition parameters which eliminate guesswork and trial-and-error data collection.
Quantitative X-ray mapping produces richer elemental distribution data while Compass multivariate statistical analysis software produces 'pure' components.
Other software components include Xphase which analyses X-ray data to produce phase distributions, and Spectral Match which matches spectral data with known alloys and compounds.
Combining these tools provides a comprehensive analysis of the sample's composition, not just in terms of elemental distribution (X-ray maps), but as a complete representation of the sample's composition including the identification of compounds and alloys.
