What Does EDAX Stand For?

EDAX stands for Energy Dispersive Analysis Of X Rays

EDAX, or Energy Dispersive Analysis of X-rays, is an analytical technique used in materials science to determine the elemental composition of samples. By measuring the characteristic X-rays emitted by a material when it is subjected to an electron beam, EDAX provides detailed information about both the qualitative and quantitative aspects of the elemental constituents. This technique is widely employed in fields such as metallurgy, geology, and semiconductor analysis for its ability to analyze small areas of a sample with high spatial resolution.
