SEM-EDS = Scanning Electron Microscope with Energy-Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy
Our innovation makes ore characterization affordable for any user in the metal mining sector
Feature | Benefit | Value |
Based on an optical microscope | Much lower cost and infrastructure requirements than SEM EDS | Save money and infrastructure resources |
Does not require specialist for its operation | Can be handled by typical laboratory staff | Save wages and avoid relying on critical staff |
Analyses each and every pixel of acquired images | High resolution analysis, very high data throughput | Provides detailed information for plant tuning |
Identifies minerals by their specular reflectance (linked to crystalline structure, not to atomic mass) | Much better than SEM-EDS at discrimination of polymorphs, iron ores, graphite, organic matter … | Reliable identification of polymorphs, optimal results for iron ores |
