EDAX Launches New Clarity Direct Electron Detector for EBSD

EDAX, Inc., a leader in X-ray microanalysis and electron diffraction instrumentation, has launched the world's first commercially available direct electron detector designed for electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). The Clarity™ system provides zero noise and zero distortion collection of EBSD patterns by directly measuring the incident electrons onto the detector. This approach removes the traditional phosphor and optics from the collection path, resulting in sharper EBSD patterns with higher sensitivity.

Wasatch Photonics Introduces a Compact Raman Spectroscopy System

Wasatch's Raman spectroscopy system is comprised of three new components. The innovative WP-785-ER-L combines a high-throughput, high-resolution, f/1.3 Raman spectrometer with an onboard excitation laser in a single, compact instrument, forming the basis of this semi-integrated Raman system. The high-efficiency spectrometer features a comprehensive measurement range of 100–3600 cm−1. It is designed with a smaller footprint to lower the cost of modular Raman spectroscopy while allowing flexibility in the probe or sampling optics used, making it ideal for scientific and industrial research.

Correlative Software for AFM and EM

Relate is a new software package for correlative imaging with Asylum Research AFMs, electron microscopes, and Oxford Instruments NanoAnalysis EDS and EBSD detectors. Relate makes it simple to correlate, visualize, and analyze the multitude of image data types generated by these techniques. The software matches regions of interest between AFM, EM, EDS, and EBSD detectors, prepares composite 2D and 3D renderings from the layered images, and allows true quantitative analysis of the combined datasets.

AirFlow Monitor

The Hemco airflow monitor continuously monitors face velocity air flow for a fume hood. The monitor can be calibrated to the desired feet per minute velocity set point. If the hood face velocity falls below the set point, an audible alarm will sound, and a visual red indicator light will appear. Air flow alarms can be factory or field installed for improved laboratory safety.
