AZtec Wave (In House)

AZtec Wave is Oxford Instruments’ combined (EDS) and Wavelength Dispersive Spectrometry (WDS) system allowing for the simultaneous acquisition of ED and WD spectra for quantitative analysis.

This course consists of 1 full day of training and includes the following:

Course Objectives:

• Train the user how to optimize analytical conditions for different applications and materials for WDS analysis
• Attendees become proficient in the operation of the AZtec Wave software.
• Learn how to interpret qualitative and quantitative results.

Course Outline:

• Basic Introduction to X-ray generation and WDS analysis
• Overview of WD Spectrometer.
• Overview of Aztec Wave software
  1. Creating both EDS and WDS user standards in AZtec
  2. Checking the Spectrometer: determining whether your system is operating properly.
  3. Using the simulated WD spectrum.
  4. Associating ED and WD beam measurements for combined analysis.
  5. Spectral Scans in INCA Wave.
• Quantitative analysis theory and practical considerations

 Note: It is recommended that anyone attending this course should be familiar with the AZtec EDS system or have attended one the AZtec EDS courses prior to attending this class.
