Electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) has been around for well over 50 years and is still widely used today for elemental composition of a material and determining the distribution of elements and their concentrations within a sample surface via point analysis and/or X-ray mapping (XRM). The EPMA of today allows for energy dispersive (EDS) and wavelength dispersive spectroscopy (WDS) analysis by collecting characteristic X-rays and continuum released from the sample surface after bombardment with electrons.
