Electron microprobe analysis is a non-destructive sensitive technique (< 100 ppm for most elements) which is used to determine the chemical composition of solid materials. It involves exposing a micro-volume (1-3 microns) of a sample to a focused electron beam (typical energy = 5-30 keV) and then collecting and analyzing the X-ray photons emitted by the various elemental species with suitable crystal detectors. The chemical composition can be determined because the wavelengths of the emitted X-rays are distinctive of the elements in the sample. All elements with the atomic number 4 or higher can be detected. Scientific and engineering applications from geology, materials science, 电子产品, 生物学, and mechanical and chemical engineering.
