Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) measures and maps the distribution of elements within a sample. It can be used as a powerful imaging tool, providing accurate identification of stains, labels, and ultrastructural features. Additionally, EDS can be used to conduct analysis on the relative quantities of a wide range of elements, providing compositional data on native elements and exogenous features.

In this webcast, the speakers will focus on the biomedical applications of EDS. They will discuss how EDS can be used to identify the composition of wear particles from failed hip implants and thus determine which part of the implant they originated from.

They will also describe case studies where EDS has been used for medical diagnostics. Finally, they will show how EDS can be used to conduct colour electron microscopy, providing imaging information that facilitates the identification of cells and tissues within hydroxyapatite implants and how the composition of the implant changes during degradation.
