Combining SEM and EDS data typically requires a complex workflow and the use of multiple software to ultimately obtain the desired data. This complex user experience reduces the efficiency of laboratory work, creates potential inconsistencies in instrument usage behavior, and makes training more difficult, making SEM-EDS a professional technology in most laboratories.

In this document, we will briefly introduce SEM and EDS, as well as how to combine the two for more in-depth material characterization in industrial applications. We will also showcase *'s Thermo Scientific ChemiSEM technology, which integrates SEM and EDS into a fast and easy-to-use analytical tool that can be quickly mastered by both novice users and professionals.
