INCA / AZtec Wave Training

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.

NCA / 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 2 days 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.
