http://www.scienceexchange.com/facilities/electron-microprobe-laboratory

An electron microprobe is an electron microscope designed for the non-destructive x-ray microanalysis and imaging of solid materials. It is capable of high spatial resolution (1 micron beam size) and relatively high analytical sensitivity. The analytical facilities'''' JEOL JXA-8600 can acquire digital secondary-electron and backscattered-electron images as well as elemental x-ray maps. It is equipped with 4 wavelength-dispersive spectrometers and an energy-dispersive spectrometer. Most of the periodic table can in principle be analyzed (Be through U), subject to several important considerations. The quality of analyses performed depends essentially on the quality of sample preparation, character of the sample material, and availability of appropriate primary and secondary calibration standards for the desired elements. A precision usually less than 0.5% relative depending on element abundance, and accuracy as good as 1-2% can be obtained with this instrument. The analytical sensitivity ranges from a low of ~50 parts per million for optimum cases, to a typical detection limit of several hundred ppm, but can be as high as several weight percent for problem elements. The volume sampled is typically a few cubic microns, corresponding to a weight of a few picograms.
