EDAX Velocity™ EBSD Camera Series

The Velocity™ EBSD Camera Series from EDAX provides high-speed EBSD mapping and the best indexing performance on real-world materials. Having been powered by a CMOS sensor, Velocity integrates rapid acquisition along with low noise performance and high sensitivity for optimal collection and data quality.

The Velocity Camera Series comes in four diverse models:

Velocity Ultra—Up to 6,700 indexed points per second (ipps)

Velocity Super—Up to 4,500 ipps

Velocity Plus—Up to 3,000 ipps

Velocity Pro—Up to 2,000 ipps

It is possible to achieve these speeds for all models while offering indexing success rates ranging up to 99%. The proven triplet indexing routine of EDAX offers orientation accuracy values below 0.1° without the need for any dedicated processing routines used for a precise definition of deformed microstructures.

The Velocity camera’s performance extends to an extensive range of materials, such as multi-phase, lower symmetry, and deformed structures. The Velocity Series allows effective data collection on such real-world samples along with the quality outcomes required for ideal materials analysis.

The Velocity EBSD Cameras have the potential to combine with consistent EDAX EDS detectors for efficient concurrent EDS–EBSD collection, even at the greatest collection speeds. While being integrated with ChI-Scan™ analysis, this leads to beneficial integrated data for precise phase differentiation.
