Come and join us for our workshop on Friday, April 3rd 2026 at the
Raimond Castaign Micrcharacterisation Centre. 
Institut Clément Ader
3 Rue Caroline Aigle
31400 Toulouse

Two Oxford Instruments systems will be installed for the occasion:

1. Ultim Infinity 100 mm²: the latest generation of Oxford Instruments EDS detectors with individual calibration for optimised resolution, particularly at low energies.
2. BEX - Unity detector, which allows live chemical mapping without shadowing effects.

Learn more about these two systems, their application possibilities on your own samples and ask our experts any questions you have.
Please note: The workshop will be held in French.

One session is planned for the morning and another for the afternoon. The exact times will be announced in the coming days.

To ensure that these workshops are as beneficial as possible, please note that places are limited. However, another session may be organised on Tuesday 7 or Wednesday 8 April if the Friday sessions are full or if people are unavailable on Friday.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions: brice.lopez@oxinst.com.

Unity BEX - Backscattered Electron and X-ray ​(BEX)

Until now, analysis in an SEM has been a static, step-by-step process that relied on experience-based instinct to obtain good results in a timely manner. BEX is a pioneering analytical technique for SEM, combining Backscattered Electron and X-ray (BEX) imaging in a single technique, simultaneously. BEX combines the topographic, crystallographic, atomic number and elemental information in an immediate visual output while you navigate around your sample.

Ultim® ∞ (“Infinity”) SDD detectors unlock the infinite potential of EDS for characterising materials in the SEM. 

Infinity means guaranteed performance, tested on installation, beyond the typical specifications of any other detector including the highest sensitivity guaranteed with sensor sizes from 40 mm² up to 170 mm² all offering the exact same analytical performance.
