Thermo Scientific™ X-ray Photoelectron Spectrometers are equipped with a microfocusing monochromator and a multi-channel detector. This combination makes the instrument ideal for chemical state mapping. The spatial resolution of the maps is determined by the user-selected, X-ray spot size. The multi-channel detector allows snapshot spectra to be collected at each pixel of the map; this is much faster than scanned acquisition. The charge compensation system on these spectrometers allow chemical state maps to be produced very easily from insulating materials.
