Description
The EM-Tec RXS-40MC+CL minerals reference standard includes 40 reference minerals and a 200µm aperture copper Faraday cup. EDS spectra, cathode luminescence spectra and quantitative EDS analysis results are provided for each mineral. All minerals are mounted in a Ø25.4 mm pin stub, made from AISI 303 stainless steel. All minerals are embedded in conductive silver filled epoxy. The stoichiometric compositions of these natural minerals are nominal; other impurities or small inclusions may be present. Intended as reference standard for CL set-up and test, quantitative EDS and WDS micro-analysis applications. 200µm copper Faraday cup and 40 minerals:
