EDS mapping and quantification

Maps remain linked to spectra.

Inspect element maps, define physically meaningful regions and calculate composition while retaining the spectrum-image context and quantification assumptions.

Demonstration element-map view; colors identify channels and are not phase assignments.

Spectrum image to chemical evidence

Maps, spectra and composition remain linked so every phase or region interpretation can be checked against the measured signal.

01 · Input & calibration

EDS spectrum image and acquisition context

Inspect energy calibration, detector geometry and live time, beam energy, navigation image and the available line channels before constructing maps.

02 · Method & review

Background, lines and regions

Select peak/background treatment and non-overlapping lines, then define editable particle, agglomerate, interface or phase-separated regions. The summed spectrum for every region stays available for review.

03 · Scientific results

Net-count maps and quantitative tables

MapsBackground-corrected net counts with calibrated spatial axes
CompositionAtomic %, weight %, selected lines and correction model
QualityCounts, fit/residual context, overlaps, exclusions and detection limits where supported

04 · Export & provenance

Interoperable maps, spectra and reports

Each chemical conclusion remains connected to its summed spectrum, selected line and region definition.

Element colors identify channels, not phases. Quantification remains dependent on standards, specimen geometry and correction model.
