EDS working principle

SEM provides detailed high resolution images of the sample by rastering a focussed electron beam across the surface and detecting secondary or backscattered electron signal. An Energy Dispersive X-Ray Analyzer (EDX or EDA) is also used to provide elemental identification and quantitative compositional information .

The abscissa of the EDX spectrum indicates the ionization energy and ordinate indicates the counts . Higher the counts of a particular element, higher will be its presence at that point or area of interest. You can display the amount of each element in number of counts or in weight percentage.

Energy Conversion Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) is an analytical method for analytical or chemical characterization of materials . EDX systems are generally attached to an electron microscopy instrument such as transmission electron microscopy (TEM) or scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
