X500 Crystal Probe

Electron Backscattered Diffraction (EBSD) has become an important tool in the study of polycrystalline materials.  However, the application of EBSD has never reached it's full potential, because of limitations in conventional SEM design. 

The X500 Crystal Microprobe is anything but conventional. The electron optical column, specimen chamber, and stage have been optimized for EBSD applications. The 70-degree column tilt allows all specimens to be analyzed with no sample tilt, opening up a wide array of possibilities for analysis and experimentation.
