[15p-P14-68] X-ray transmission characteristic measurements of polycapillary optics for a TES microcalorimeter EDS system on a scanning transmission electron microscope
Keywords:Polycapilary, TES microcalorimeter, STEM
An energy-dispersive spectrometer (EDS) with a superconducting transition edge sensor (TES) microcalorimeter mounted on a scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) has been developed to enhance the accuracy of nanoscale material analysis. We used polycapillary optics to collect X-rays. We evaluated X-ray transmission characteristics of the optics to realize a high-accuracy analysis.
