Energy Dispersive Spectrometry (EDS) has long been admired for its ability to quickly and accurately characterise a large and diverse range of materials. The recent introduction of silicon drift detectors (SDDs) has revolutionised EDS analysis on scanning electron microscopes (SEMs). Collection times have been reduced and spectrum imaging is much more practical, but productivity is often limited by small sensor sizes (<30mm²).
