Abstract
As part of the Microbeam Analysis Society (MAS) symposium marking 30 years of energy-dispersive spectrometry (EDS), this article reviews many innovati ons in the field over those years. Innovations that added a capability prev iously not available to the microanalyst are chosen for further description . Included are innovations in both X-ray microanalysis and digital imaging using the EDS analyzer.
