Favorite Feature(s) in Probe for EPMA
« on: December 13, 2023, 01:24:47 PM »
We are re-designing our old Probe Software web pages:

https://probesoftware.com/

and wanted some feedback from everyone on what features and methods in Probe for EPMA/CalcImage you find to be the most useful for your lab. This is only a partial list (of course!) of the many features and methods we offer, but we thought we would start with this list and see what sort of responses we get.

Note you can vote for more than one feature, so go ahead and select the, say top 5, 10 or 15 features in Probe for EPMA, that you find to be the most helpful on a day to day basis.  Or perhaps what feature(s) have "saved the day" for you when it was "crunch time".

Interesting.

The above poll currently shows the "Fully quantitative X-ray mapping (background, matrix, interference, TDI corrected)" to be the most popular feature in Probe for EPMA/CalcImage.

Coming in next were two items "Quantitative spectral interference corrections" and "Ability to load a complete setup (with or without standard intensities) from another probe run".

If you'd like to see the rest of the results yourself, please log in and vote.
