Need to see the microscopic surface of a part and know exactly which elements it’s made of? SEM-EDX does both β high-magnification imaging plus elemental composition, in one analysis. Searching for a dependable sem-edx analysis laboratory in chennai? Kiyo R&D Lab uses scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray to reveal microstructure, identify particles and coatings, and pinpoint the cause of defects and failures.
From metals and coatings to plastics, electronics, and unknown residues, our expert team delivers clear images, confident elemental data, and audit-ready reports you can rely on.

Your complete guide to SEM-EDX analysis at Kiyo R&D Lab
SEM-EDX combines two techniques in one instrument. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) fires a focused electron beam to produce highly magnified images of a surface, revealing detail far beyond an optical microscope. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) then reads the characteristic X-rays each element emits, giving the elemental composition of the exact spot you’re imaging. A capable sem-edx analysis laboratory in chennai turns those images and spectra into clear answers about what a material is and why it behaves as it does.
For manufacturers, it verifies composition and coating. For QC teams, it identifies contamination and defects. For failure investigations, it reveals fracture features, corrosion products, and foreign material β all backed by defensible data.
As a full-service sem-edx analysis laboratory in chennai, we image and analyse metals, coatings, plastics, electronics, and unknown particles with combined SEM imaging and EDX elemental data.

| Technique | Tells You | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| SEM | Surface shape & structure (image) | Defects, fractures, morphology |
| EDX | Which elements are present | Composition, contamination |
| FTIR | Which compounds / polymers | Organic material ID |
SEM-EDX answers “what elements and what structure”; FTIR answers “what compound”. For a full unknown, we often run both.
Our sem-edx analysis laboratory in chennai follows globally recognised methods so your reports are accepted by auditors, buyers, and regulators alike.
ASTM ISO
| Standard | What It Covers | Use |
|---|---|---|
| ASTM E1508 | Quantitative analysis by EDX | Elemental analysis |
| ASTM E986 | SEM beam-size / performance | Imaging quality |
