eWARP TKD: Ultra-Fast High-Resolution Nanomaterials Characterization

Powered by Bruker's innovative WARP sensor technology, eWARP TKD is a dedicated on-axis Transmission Kikuchi Diffraction detector designed for nanomaterials characterization in the SEM.

Featuring a newly developed pixelated sensor with 162 × 162 pixels and an active area exceeding 26 × 26 mm², eWARP TKD combines exceptional sensitivity with ultra-fast acquisition speeds of up to 5,700 fps.

With better than 2 nm spatial resolution, integrated Dark Field and Bright Field imaging, and an on-axis geometry, eWARP TKD redefines what is possible in TKD analysis.

The eWARP TKD detector for unmatched throughput, spatial resolution and data quality in nanomaterials characterization

Unmatched TKD Performance 

 

  • Characterize nanomaterials with spatial resolutions better than 2 nm.

  • Acquire high-quality orientation and phase maps in 1–5 minutes at speeds of up to 5,700 fps.

  • Capture real-time microstructural evolution during in-situ heating and mechanical testing.

  • Perform low-dose TKD analysis on beam-sensitive and delicate materials.

  • Minimize drift-induced artifacts through ultra-fast mapping and reduced acquisition times.

  • Collect Bright Field and Dark Field images simultaneously alongside TKD data.

Discover XFlash® FlatQUAD 2L: Maximum Efficiency in X-ray Collection 

Featuring four silicon drift detector (SDD) segments with 100mm2 area arranged around a central aperture, XFlash® FlatQUAD 2L combines exceptional X-ray collection efficiency with true parallel EDS and BSE acquisition. 

With solid angles exceeding 1 sr, count rates up to 8 million cps ICR (input count rate), 4 million cps OCR (output count rate) and energy resolution down to 127 eV at Mn Kα:  XFlash® FlatQUAD 2L is designed to support both routine analysis and challenging applications.

The XFlash® FlatQUAD 2L is a unique 4-channel annular detector that is inserted between the sample and SEM pole piece to maximize EDS signal collection whilst enabling simultaneous BSE imaging. 

One Detector. Any Application.

  • Perform SEM EDS at ultra-high spatial resolution, enabling analysis of nanostructured materials and semiconductor devices.

  • Quantify elemental compositions at high throughput with exceptional count rates and collection efficiency.

  • Overlay X-ray EDS data with true parallel BSE images for correlated chemical and compositional information.

  • Analyze delicate, beam-sensitive, or charging samples with low kV, low beam currents, low vacuum conditions.

  • Accurately map the elemental composition of rough and topographic samples where conventional detector geometries are limiting.

  • Perform TEM-like EDS analysis using a SEM, enabling elemental characterization of electron-transparent specimens using STEM-in-SEM workflows.
