All,
I am very pleased to announce that Probe for EPMA can now acquire CL spectra for point analyses automatically (along with your WDS intensities and EDS spectrum data). Right now we are only interfacing to an Ocean Optics spectrometer (I'm using the USB4000 unit right now), but other vendors could be supported also.
Here is an example of a CL spectrum and the corresponding dark spectrum:
I picked the Ocean Optics spectrometer hardware to start with because it's not too expensive and if you already have the CSIRO xCLent system on your EPMA instrument, the Ocean Optics spectrometer is already there, connected to the computer and already interfaced.
If you are interested in this option, please contact Barbara (@probesoftware.com) and she will send you a quotation for the CL acquisition software interface.
