Microscience and Microscopy in Metals

Metals - June 19, 2014

Author : Carl Milholland

The Microscience and Microscopy Congress 2014 (MMC 2014) is Europe’s largest eventdedicated to microscopy and imaging. An international conference, it offers four parallelsessions, pre-congress workshops, poster presentations, a huge exhibition and a fully-equippedteaching and learning zone – all under one roof!

The program will feature the best from both worlds in the microscopical sense – from the lifeand physical sciences, and from light and electron microscopy.

Organized by the Royal Microscopical Society, the show is always at the forefront of new ideasand developments in microscopy and imaging. The Society is dedicated to advancing science,developing careers and supporting wider understanding of science and microscopy, so all themajor manufacturers and suppliers of microscopes, equipment and services will be represented.

We will be demonstrating how X-ray microanalysis plays a key role in the development,production and failure analysis of metals and advanced metallic materials. If you want to get aclose look at X-ray micronanalysis and Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS), makesure you register for our lunchtime seminar where you will learn how to specify an EDS detector. An energy-dispersive (EDS) detector is used to separate the characteristic x-rays of differentelements into an energy spectrum, and then utilizes software to analyze the spectrum anddetermine specific elements within a sample.
