TM Series Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectrometers: AZtec Series
Brand: Hitachi High-Tech | Category: Nanotechnology
The AZtec series gives the TM series tabletop microscopes a choice of EDS systems, with built-in detectors made by Oxford Instruments and an energy resolution of 129 eV (Mn-Ka) available in all classes. Hitachi list three configurations: AZtecOneXplore as standard, AZtecLiveOneXplore with the live EDS function, and AZtecLiveLite as the multi-featured analysis instrument. The TruMap feature separates multi element spectra and subtracts background in real time so that element maps are free of contamination from overlapping peaks, while pile-up correction and TruQ technologies support high throughput analysis. AZtecLiveLite adds large area mapping and particle analysis through a motorised stage.
Plan your specification
Specify the AZtec package for your Hitachi TM
Hitachi lists distinct AZtec EDS packages for its TM series. Name the microscope model and required analysis functions so the offer identifies the correct detector and software combination.
- Microscope compatibility
- Provide the exact SEM model, ports, stage, other detectors and computer details. Request written confirmation of mechanical fit, interfaces and installation responsibilities.
- Exact package and analysis functions
- Confirm which live-spectrum, mapping and automation functions are included or optional. Check any motorised-stage and software requirements against the installed TM configuration.
- Software and acceptance scope
- List licences, data exports, workstation, training and the sample demonstration in the offer. Agree what will be checked after installation and the support terms.

- Infinity FA System
An etching tool for semiconductor failure analysis, thin film profiling and delayering. It combines ion beam etch, reactive ion beam etch and chemically assisted ion beam etch so that layers of mixed composition can be removed at matched rates.
- TM Series Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectrometer: Quantax75
Quantax75 is one of the EDS systems Hitachi offer with the TM4000 series tabletop microscopes, using a built-in detector made by Bruker Nano GmbH. Hitachi note that every detector in this range is of compact design and needs no liquid nitrogen. The system gives local spectra observation at specified points, high speed colourised X-ray mapping, a hypermap function that returns spot analysis, line analysis and mapping results from a single acquisition, and live deconvolution so that overlapping peaks are separated and mapped in real time.
- BenchTop Turbo
A compact high vacuum system for low voltage resistive thermal evaporation and sputtering, sized to fit within 32 inches of bench width. It is used for high vacuum carbon coating, high resolution microscopy coatings and rotary shadowing, and is run from a touch screen interface.
