USGS Denver Microbeam Laboratory
Energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDS) is available on both the 5800 SEM and the 8900 electron microprobe. This technique may be used for qualitative and quantitative elemental analysis and for elemental mapping. Both systems have boron detection capability.
Commercial equipment is identified at this web site for clarity and to properly define laboratory capabilities. Such identification does not imply recommendation or endorsement by the USGS, DOI, or the U.S. Government, nor does it imply that the equipment identified is necessarily the best available for the purpose.
