New Integrated EDS and EBSD System Launched

Edax Inc has introduced the TEAM™ Pegasus system, which combines world-class Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) and Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) hardware with Edax’s highly successful TEAM™ software platform to create the next generation in synergistic materials characterisation.

TEAM™ Pegasus is the integration of Edax’s TEAM™ EDS analysis system and its market-leading EBSD product line. The product offers both high-level analysis capabilities and an easy-to-use, intuitive interface to users of all levels. The TEAM™ platform introduces Smart Features to EBSD. Smart Camera and Smart Background guide the user in optimal data collection, and Smart Indexing and Smart Data Management guarantee accurate analysis and reporting.

“By bringing the analytical intelligence and Smart Features of TEAM™ EDS to the EBSD product line, Edax has enabled users of all experience levels to take advantage of Edax’s powerful EBSD technology,” commented Mike Coy, Technical Product Manager of the Microanalysis product line. “The TEAM™ software enhances the ease of use of both the EBSD hardware and data analysis with its automated work functions and workflow guidance.”

TEAM™ Pegasus allows a user to collect dynamic EDS and EBSD maps simultaneously and to move between the techniques seamlessly. TEAM™ software also allows the user to interact with the data during the acquisition process, to view orientation, composition, quality or the sample image. This flexibility allows real-time data analysis and boosts productivity.

“TEAM™ Pegasus was designed from the start as an integrated system to streamline the movement between EDS and EBSD and to allow maximum synergy from the two techniques,” added Coy. “This approach ensures that users will get the maximum amount of data in the shortest time and that the data collected will quickly lead them to identify a solution to their material analysis problem.”
