What Does EDX Stand For?

EDX stands for Energy Dispersive X Ray

EDX, or Energy Dispersive X-Ray, is an analytical technique used in materials science and chemistry to identify the elemental composition of samples. It works by detecting the characteristic X-rays emitted from a material when it is irradiated with high-energy electrons. EDX provides qualitative and quantitative data, making it a valuable tool for applications in various fields such as metallurgy, geology, and semiconductor manufacturing. Its ability to analyze small volumes and provide rapid results enhances its utility in research and quality control processes.
