Edax Inc., Mahwah N.J., has added a new, faster, low-noise CMOS camera to its Velocity EBSD camera series, which now includes two cameras tailored to specific EBSD analysis applications. The Velocity Plus collection speed is up to 3000 indexed points per second; the Velocity Super collection speed is up to 4500 indexed points per second. At these speeds, the Velocity cameras use 120 x 120 pixel EBSD patterns for improved band detection. This image resolution, combined with proven Edax triplet indexing routines, provides orientation precision values of less than 0.1.
The Velocity EBSD cameras can be integrated with compatible Edax EDS detectors to provide an analytical system for efficient simultaneous EDS-EBSD collection, even at the highest collection speeds. Furthermore, combining the collection with Edax ChI-Scan analysis results in useful integrated data for accurate phase differentiation.
This new addition to the Edax portfolio of EBSD cameras offers users another option for high-speed mapping and accurate indexing to resolve crystallographic microstructures and help solve materials characterization challenges quickly and easily.
