Electron Probe Micro Analyzer (EPMA)
In an EPMA, a micro-volume of a sample is subjected to interaction with a focused electron beam (typical energy = 5-30 keV) and the X-ray photons emitted by the various elemental species are collected, and analyzed by suitable crystal detectors. Since the wavelengths of the emitted X-rays are characteristic of the elements in the sample, the chemical composition can be easily determined.
