The SUPRA™ 55WDS has been designed to meet the most demanding analytical applications. The new anode configuration combined with the high current mode lens control provide ample probe current to perform WDS analysis. The chamber design with 35° take-off angle allows simultaneous WDS and EDS analysis with SE, BSE, STEM, CL and SCM imaging.

The GEMINI® column enables WDS analysis with a high current in a small spot combined with a superb beam stability. The WDS spectrometer with high sensitivity for light elements, superior energy resolution (3 -20 eV), low background and 10x higher intensity for elemental analysis offers analytical solutions beyond EDS analysis.

The combination of the SUPRA™ 55 WDS together with the WDS spectrometer opens new fields of applications for high spatial resolution X-ray analysis.

With the SUPRA™ 55WDS VP-Version even non-conducting samples can be imaged and analysed with EDS in variable pressure mode, however WDS analysis has to be performed in high vacuum mode.
