651-1852-00L | Advanced Electron Microprobe Analysis | 3 credits | 4G | J. Allaz, E. Reusser | |
Abstract | Advanced operations of the Electron Microprobe to obtain high quality quantitative analysis at the micron-scale. Discussion of challenging cases (beam sensitive material, high spatial resolution, peak interference, quantitative element mapping, etc.). Discussion about the data treatment and how to optimally present the results. | ||||
Objective | Full autonomy on the use of the JEOL Electron Microprobe, the software “Probe for EPMA”, and other "advanced" software. Ability to develop a complete and optimum analytical setup corresponding to the analytical and research needs, and to test this setup for accuracy and precision. The student should also be able to treat the analyses results and to usefully incorporate them in his/her research. | ||||
Content | This class is a mixture of presentations, discussions, lab exercises and some homework. If the eventuality the lab access is not possible due to the Covid situation, live demonstrations will be organised using remote control of the machine. Students should preferably have access to a Windows computer to be able to run the programs “Probe for EPMA” and “Casino” that will be used throughout the course. Instructions to install these programs will be given to the registered students shortly before the course begins. | ||||
Prerequisites / Notice | Students must either follow the ETH course “Electron Microprobe Class” (651-0048-00L) or must present an excellent knowledge of the electron microprobe (e.g., similar EPMA course taken at another institution). |
