Electron Microprobe (EPMA)

The electron probe micro-analyzer (EPMA), also referred to as an electron microprobe, can be used to perform highly sensitive chemical analyses of micro-volumes of properly prepared samples.

Key Features

• Imaging using secondary and back-scattered electron detectors and the panchromatic cathodoluminescence (CL) detector.
• X-ray mapping capabilities to visually identify the modal abundance of fine-grained minerals.

The electron microprobe at the Advanced Microanalysis Centre™ is available on a fee-for-service basis at a rate of $160 per hour.
