On March 21, 2018, in this season of bright spring and blooming flowers, as the first level agent of Leica, the friends of Chain Metallography received an invitation to train Leica Microscope LIBS in Shanghai. Everyone was so happy! Because not only can you learn new microscope knowledge, the key is to also see the beauty of Leica Microscope LIBS! Book tickets immediately, we can't miss such a great opportunity for communication!

    This Leica microscope is said to combine visual inspection and qualitative chemical inspection in one work step, saving 90% of the time in determining microstructure components compared to traditional SEM/EDS inspection. The integrated laser spectroscopy function can provide accurate chemical element spectra in one second for the material structure you see in the microscope. Let's talk in detail about her strengths:

    No need for SEM sample preparation: Why can using this Leica microscope solution for material analysis save 90% of time? Because this solution does not require sample preparation and transfer; No system adjustment required; And there is no need to reposition the region of interest (ROI).


Reduce workflow: Simplify the workflow to only one step, with a focus on results.


Quickly decide what to do: Combining multiple tools to analyze the microstructure and composition of the sample will obtain all the information in one second, helping you make the right decision. In over 90% of cases, users can obtain sufficient data to make confident decisions about their next steps.

    Component cleanliness analysis: The combination of a two in one system and Cleanliness Expert analysis software allows you to visually and chemically inspect the samples on the filter using only one instrument and one workflow. This makes it easier to find the source of pollution.


Make confident decisions: By quickly obtaining data on particle composition and structure, you will gain the advantage of making confident decisions more quickly during the analysis process.


Evaluation of microstructure components: A two in one solution can help you perform phase structure and elemental/chemical analysis, such as ore, alloy, ceramic, etc. There is no need for sample preparation or transfer between 2 or more devices. The entire analysis workflow is completed on one instrument.


Greatly reducing the sample preparation that consumes human resources: Greatly reducing the sample preparation and expensive SEM/EDS analysis that consumes human resources, thereby saving time and money.

    Depth profile and hierarchical analysis of materials: The ablation principle of LIBS can be applied to micro drilling of materials. Micro drilling can be applied to areas such as depth profiles; Analytic Hierarchy Process; Surface cleaning.


Depth profiles are very useful in determining whether the composition of a material changes with the depth of penetration into the material. Analytic Hierarchy Process can be used to find the components of each layer in a material. For example, metal with multi-layer coating or spray painting belongs to layered materials. Surface cleaning can remove oxides and pollution.

    Your powerful tool for chemical analysis research: The solution uses Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) to make qualitative chemical analysis possible. Click to trigger the analysis, and the laser will penetrate the aiming point on the sample. A plasma will be generated and then decomposed. The generated characteristic spectrum displays the distribution pattern of elements in the material. The software compares the spectra with known datasets of elements and compounds to determine the composition of the microstructure. The dataset can be expanded with specific material results obtained by users.


LIBS Solution: The contribution of microscopes also plays a crucial role in achieving rapid material analysis workflows using a two in one solution.

    Do you already have a DM6000M or DM6M duplex microscope? If you already have it, you can make full use of this option and use the LIBS system for modification to get a two in one solution at a discounted price!


Having said so much, do you already have a general understanding of this Leica microscope! It is said that there will be a product launch event later! Let's look forward to it together! The editor seems to be a bit impatient!
