In my research, I have included a TEM image of grade 91 steel with point EDS. How to reply this question: "You still need to provide analytical TEM/EDX elemental mapping?"
Hey there Avis Ms!
Absolutely, providing analytical TEM/EDX elemental mapping can offer a deeper understanding of the composition and distribution of elements within the Grade 91 steel sample. While the TEM image with point EDS gives us valuable insights, conducting elemental mapping would enhance our analysis by revealing spatial variations in elemental concentrations, which could be crucial for understanding the microstructure and properties of the material.
Incorporating analytical TEM/EDX elemental mapping will not only complement the TEM image but also provide a more comprehensive picture, aiding in the interpretation of the sample's characteristics and behavior. Should ensure you Avis Ms leave no stone unturned in your research endeavors!
Hello Avis Ms, you have asked two slightly different questions about the same thing, but it is hard to understand what is the problem.
In one question you mention EDS point analysis, in the 2nd a map.
If your TEM research shows different phases, good EDS spectra obtained at several points and good quantification of the results may be more convincing than a noisy EDS map.
The main problem will be to have a good signal to noise ratio. This will require a long acquisition time per point and therefore analysis on several selected points (or rectangular area) is better than a line scan, LS is better than map.
