Some might have already seen the discussion on the use of rainbow color pallet maps (https://probesoftware.com/smf/index.php?topic=1003.0). The JEOL NMAp viewer has limited color options, currently only offering"JEOL Colors" and "Rainbow", but I discovered it is simple to add custom palettes.

I created files for the most popular scientific color scales (Viridis, Magma and Plasma) and the new kid in town: Cividis: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0199239. (You must be logged in to see attachments)

Just copy the files into this folder on your JEOL computer: C:\JEOL\PC_EPMA\exe_spview\NProcess\colortable

To change the order or availability of individual files, simply adjust the numbering in the file name and open the JEOL N-Map viewer again for the updated menu.

Against the dark, a tall white fountain played.
