Bruker AXS Microanalysis announced today that it plans to introduce
its new QUANTAX CrystAlignTM system for SEM-based crystallographic
analysis via electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) at the
Microscopy and Microanalysis (M&M) 2008 Annual Meeting,
starting on August 4, 2008 in Albuquerque, NM (USA). The CrystAlign
system consists of an ultra-fast EBSD detector and powerful, yet
easy-to-use EBSD analysis software that is seamlessly integrated
with Bruker�s EDS software ESPRIT�. The combination of EBSD with
Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS) offers more
comprehensive materials characterization capabilities in Scanning
Electron Microscopes (SEM) for a broad range of applications on
metals, ceramics and geological samples. Dr. Gert Nolze, EBSD
Product Manager at Bruker AXS, commented: �The new Bruker EBSD
system CrystAlign provides several innovative capabilities: it
features ultra-fast acquisition rates of up to 750 patterns per
second with the unique ability of scanning the sample at a constant
frame rate and storing the patterns as a string of images for
subsequent indexing and evaluation. Acquisition time is thus
independent of the sample type, and sample throughput can be
maximized. This novel EBSD collection strategy allows re-processing
of the data, investigation of individual patterns and re-analysis
of the crystal orientation maps without repeated data acquisition.�
Thomas Schuelein, Bruker AXS Executive Vice President, stated:
�Bruker has reached an important milestone in its microanalysis
strategy, aimed at further extending the versatility and analytical
power of its product lines for the micro- and nanoanalysis markets.
Our novel CrystAlign system complements the capabilities of our
QUANTAX EDS system by providing powerful tools for EBSD data
acquisition, interpretation and display of results, while making
the EBSD technique much more accessible to the general
microanalysis and SEM user.� Bruker AXS Microanalysis plans to make
additional announcements and presentations at M&M 2008. Bruker
scientists will be available for discussions at Bruker booth 1109.
