Original Press Release:

EDAX Launches New Velocityâ„¢ Super Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) Camera

Mahwah, NJ, March 27, 2019 – AMETEK EDAX, Inc., a leader in X-ray microanalysis and electron diffraction instrumentation has added a new, faster, low-noise CMOS camera to its Velocity™ EBSD Camera Series. The Velocity™ Super is currently the fastest EBSD camera in the world, offering high-speed EBSD mapping with the highest indexing performance on real-world materials.

The Velocity™ EBSD Camera Series now includes two cameras tailored to specific EBSD analysis applications:

• Velocity™ Plus – collection speed up to 3,000 indexed points per second
• Velocity™ Super – collection speed up to 4,500 indexed points per second

Powered by a CMOS sensor, the Velocity™ EBSD Camera Series combines indexing speeds up to 4,500 indexed points per second with indexing success rates of 99% or better. At these speeds, the Velocity™ cameras use 120 x 120 pixel EBSD patterns for improved band detection. This image resolution, combined with proven EDAX triplet indexing routines, provides orientation precision values of less than 0.1°.

The Velocity™ EBSD cameras can be integrated with compatible EDAX EDS detectors to provide an analytical system for efficient simultaneous EDS-EBSD collection, even at the highest collection speeds. Furthermore, combining the collection with EDAX ChI-Scan™ analysis results in useful integrated data for accurate phase differentiation. 

This new addition to the EDAX portfolio of EBSD cameras offers users another option for highspeed mapping and accurate indexing to resolve crystallographic microstructures and help solve materials characterization challenges quickly and easily.
