What it is

The NordlysMax 2 is used in conjunction with the AZtecSynergy system to acquire simultaneous EBSD and EDS data. The system processes the EBSD and EDS data as it is collected, displaying the resulting maps in real time. The NordlysMax 2 was later superseded by the Symmetry detector.[2]

How it works

When combined with the AZtecSynergy system, the NordlysMax 2 performs high-speed simultaneous collection of EBSD and EDS data. The software processes the acquired data in real time, allowing the user to view the resulting maps as the scan progresses. The design maintains high hit rates even at fast acquisition speeds.[2]
