EDAX Lambda WDS Spectrometers
Improve the accuracy of your results by resolving EDS peak overlaps.
Advantages
The EDAX® Lambda™ wavelength dispersive spectroscopy (WDS) spectrometers are state-of-the-art for improved accuracy and precision, guaranteeing the best results for your materials analysis. The Lambda spectrometers are included with the EDAX Neptune and Trident analysis systems, significantly enhancing the accuracy of results by resolving energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS) peak overlaps, improving the minimum detection limit by 10x, and providing precise quantification.
Improves accuracy with up to 15x better energy resolution than EDS alone
Collects more x-rays, producing results up to 8x faster than other systems
Optimized to cover low energy and transition element energies from 100 eV – 16 keV
