Description

The EDAX Octane Elite SDD EDS and Velocity EBSD camera are auxiliary systems added to the FEI Helios NanoLab 600i dual beam FIB/SEM to provide nanoscale (<100 nm) to microscale (>1 um) compositional, texture, and crystallographic analysis.

Instrument Specifications:

  • EDAX Octane Elite (70 mm squared active area) SDD energy dispersive spectroscopy system
  • EDAX Velocity CMOS EBSD camera
  • EDAX APEX EDS and EBSD acquisition and analysis software
  • EDAX OIM 8 texture and crystallographic analysis software

  • YouTube tutorial: EBSD + EDS using EDAX Velocity EBSD, Octane Elite EDS, and APEX software (02/24/25)
