Can we use only WDS attachment without EDS attachment with SEM? we have to require EDS to run WDS?
I don't know about your setting, but WDS and EDS are two different detectors, right? They can be used independently, but often (or at least in case of Oxford Instruments) they will use the same software GUI. On second thought, due to the high current I would advise against simultaneous use of EDS and WDS detectors. At least I prefer to retract EDS while preparing for WDS...

WDS is fully independent system, does not require EDS. It is less handy than EDS but has many advantages (resolution, sensitivity,). If you are choosing what to buy I would advice EDS for less experienced operators. If your specimens are polished and you need good quantification (metallography, geology), then WDS is a clear choice.
