NORAN SYSTEM SIX X-ray Microanalysis System
At Thermo Fisher Scientific, designing their X-ray microanalysis system had one goal in mind: Make the NORAN SYSTEM SIX the simplest instrument on the market to get microscopists to the final answer in the least amount of time. And with complete confidence in their results. Push a button, print your report. Done.
Thermo Scientific NORAN: The Spectral Imaging Brand
Over the past years, Thermo Scientific have placed collecting and analyzing Spectral Imaging data at the core of the NORAN SYSTEM SIX Microanalysis System. While others have developed look-alike features, only Thermo has developed a set of tools exclusively designed for Spectral Imaging data
Automated Acquisition Parameters -- Eliminates guesswork and trial-and-error data collection
Quantitative X-ray Mapping -- Produces richer elemental distribution data
COMPASS -- Multivariate statistical analysis software producing "pure" components
Xphase -- Analyzes X-ray data to produce phase distributions
Spectral Match -- Matches spectral data with known alloys and compounds
When combined, these tools present a comprehensive analysis of the sample's composition, not just in terms of elemental distribution (x-ray maps), but as a complete representation of the sample's composition including the identification of compounds and alloys
Direct to Phase
Introducing Direct-to-Phase
Using these advanced algorithms, Direct-to-Phase extracts and displays known phases while the data is still being collected. Now you can allow your EDS system to decide when sufficient statistics have been collected, or you can visualize the data as it develops.
Direct-to-Phase combines Thermo's advancements in Spectral Imaging analysis to produce the most comprehensive tool for understanding your sample's composition. Direct-to-Phase does much more than simply present elemental data in maps and spectra. It develops an information-rich picture of your sample's composition. And it produces complete data ten times faster than current X-ray microanalysis technology.
SDD X-Ray
New SDD X-ray Detector Improves Throughput and Reduces Sample Damage
Thermo's new UltraDry 30 provides silicon drift detection (SDD) technology with a larger active area (30mm2). This enables high data throughput with the convenience of no-LN operation. The 30mm2 active area also means that you can reduce beam currents while still getting sufficient statistics, and reduce sample damage. A new UltraDry 10+ and our standard UltraDry SDD detector are also available.
