SEM-EDS opinion
(OP)
Hello! I am getting new in the metallurgy technical details, and I have some doubts in the SEM and EDS. I am considering the EDS SpectroMax, did somebody have used it? Is it better the SpectroLab model?
In the EDS, im considering the Zess, Hitachi, FEI and Jeol. Do you have some experience with them, good service-support-performance? What is the difference in work and results with a SEM and a FE-SEM?
Thanks.

How good the service is depends on your location.
A Field Effect electron source provides higher resolution than a standard electron source. Unless you are doing cutting edge research at a university or billion dollar corporation, you likely won't benefit from a FE source.

Thats what i have read about the FE-SEM, but i did not know that costs difference were so high... looks like SEM is winning, i will review the quotes anyway.

I have listed as required stereomicroscope, metallurgical microscope, EDS and SEM. But, is it posible to conduct all the analysis that previous equipments allow with just a SEM? (structure, microstructure, elemental, fail analysis)?
