Analysis via SEM / EDS
|
From Trace Laboratories, Inc.
The use of Scanning Electron Microscopy/Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (SEM/EDS) in the analysis of failure related issues of printed circuit boards (PCBs), assemblies (PCAs), and electronic components (BGA, capacitors, resistors, inductors, connectors, diodes, oscillators, transformers, IC, etc.) is a well-established and accepted protocol. As opposed to or simply in addition to normal optical microscopy, SEM/EDS allows for the "inspection" of areas of interest in a much more informative way. Products & Services
Specialty testing and inspection services provide specialized or proprietary testing services and inspection services.
