STAR Cryoelectronics' new MICA-1600 is a next generation EDS that combines conventional EDS with WDS resolution into a single instrument to provide the high resolution, throughput, uptime and ease-of-use required for materials characterization and analysis. Its unique microcalorimeter provides energy resolution better than 10 eV FWHM at 1.7 keV to easily resolve line overlaps, detect light elements and characterize the thinnest, smallest features at very low beam voltages. And it does so at a count rate of approximately 10 k cps.
