QEMSCAN
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
QEMSCAN is the name for an integrated automated mineralogy and petrography system providing quantitative analysis of minerals, rocks and man-made materials. QEMSCAN is an abbreviation standing for quantitative evaluation of minerals by scanning electron microscopy, and a registered trademark owned by FEI Company since 2009. Prior to 2009, QEMSCAN was sold by LEO, a company jointly owned by Leica and ZEISS. The integrated system comprises a scanning electron microscope (SEM) with a large specimen chamber, up to four light-element energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) detectors, and proprietary software controlling automated data acquisition. The offline software package iDiscover provides data processing and reporting functionality.
