Advancing Forensic Firearms and GSR Analysis at the 32nd ENFSI EWG Annual Meeting

AZtecCrystal is Oxford Instruments’ modern and innovative EBSD data processing software, designed for the new era of high-speed EBSD detectors and ever-expanding EBSD applications. First launched in 2019, AZtecCrystal has been continually developed ever since and now offers the accessibility and functionality to satisfy the novice and expert alike.

Nanoindentation is the most advanced form of hardness testing. Pioneered by Oliver and Pharr in their seminal paper in 1992, the nanoindentation technique allows the automated measurement of both hardness and elastic modulus.

Ultim® Max ∞ (“Infinity”) SDD detectors unlock the infinite potential of EDS for characterising materials in the SEM. They combine unparalleled accuracy, sensitivity and speed to power AZtec Live software to solve the most complex or difficult analysis challenges.

For the first time, AZtec users will have the opportunity to upgrade their software free of charge. With new export functionality, phase analysis, selection tools, and enhanced detector safety, AZtec-equipped researchers can take advantage of the latest data acquisition, processing, and reporting capabilities.

Unity is a groundbreaking detector designed to accelerate elemental analysis and unlock new capabilities in the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). It is the world’s first Backscattered Electron and X-ray (BEX) detector, delivering powerful, integrated elemental insights at unprecedented speed.

AZtecFeature is the world-leading particle analysis solution for SEM. Using a combination of smart approaches, our latest release includes our FeatureExpress upgrade to combine the highest levels of throughput with accuracy; giving the high-quality results that analysts need in a wide range of particle analysis applications.

RISE Microscopy is a novel correlative microscopy technique that combines SEM and confocal Raman Imaging. Through RISE Microscopy ultra-structural surface properties can be linked to molecular compound information.

OmniProbe allows you to work quickly, confidently, and without the risk of sample loss, simplifying advanced workflows and delivering high throughput lift-out. Designed and optimised for TEM lamella preparation in FIB-SEM, our 9th generation nanomanipulators are powered by piezoelectric motors and closed loop control for reliable, repeatable performance.

AZtecHKL is a powerful EBSD software platform that combines fast, accurate data acquisition and analysis with the flexibility required for advanced materials characterisation. Delivering real-time results, it maximises the performance of the Symmetry S3, the world’s most sensitive CMOS-based EBSD detector. The software also supports seamless simultaneous EBSD and EDS acquisition through AZtecSynergy and is optimised for nanoscale orientation mapping using Transmission Kikuchi Diffraction (TKD), making it ideal for both routine analysis and cutting-edge research applications.

X-Pulse is a revolution in the flexibility of benchtop NMR spectroscopy. A unique modular design combines fully tuneable broadband X-nuclei capability, flow chemistry, sample automation, reaction monitoring and variable temperature with superior spectral resolution.
