Getting More from EBSD with Pattern Matching
This session outlines the most recent and exciting developments in pattern matching, how it works, practical use, and benefits across industrial and academic applications.
Pattern matching has been used for several years and has been proven to give better EBSD data, the approach has significantly improved the data quality and helped make EBSD more suitable for analysis of more challenging materials.
AZtecCrystal MapSweeper uses dynamic template matching, which generates reference patterns only when needed, making the method suitable for time-sensitive analyses. Compared with Hough indexing, pattern matching improves angular precision from 0.1° to <0.01° and improves indexing rate of low-quality EBSPs and the separation of phases with similar unit cells.
Overall, pattern matching extends the capabilities of EBSD by delivering more precise and reliable data, and faster time to result.
All EDS systems offer Spectra, AutoID, Quant and Mapping, but not all are the same. Practical steps to see the difference.
Surely all EDS systems are they same; they collect spectra, they identify the elements automatically, they provide a quant result, collect a map and a linescan. How reliable the results are, how fast they can be achieved and how far they can be pushed beyond their perceived limits, is where systems differ and where a bit of user know-how can make a significant difference.
In this session we will focus on how to use Oxford Instrument’s AZtec software and Ultim detectors to work differently. We will start by building a simple workflow that guarantees accurate results, whether qualitative, quantitative or mapping. We will then take that foundation and see how we can build on it to achieve a step-change in speed, sensitivity, certainty and capability.
This is a practical session after which you will be able to:
•Collect data much faster and know ways to benefit from that speed
•Push EDS to new levels of element detection and sensitivity
•Achieve high certainty about the quality of the results you are producing
•Expand your capability to tackle more difficult and challenging samples
•Do great quant!
