Electron Probe Microanalyzer (EPMA)

The Electron Probe Micro Analyzer (EPMA) is an instrument to analyze which elements compose a substance, by irradiating electron beams onto the substance surface and measuring the characteristic X-ray that is generated. EPMA today is playing an active role worldwide, as an all-purpose, multi-functional tool equipped with electron optics technology, X-ray spectrometry technology, system control and data processing technology.
