When you need to see a surface at high magnification and know exactly which elements are present, SEM-EDX is the technique that does both. It pairs scanning electron microscope imaging with EDS/EDX elemental analysis to reveal microstructure, composition, coatings, and contamination. Searching for a dependable sem-edx testing lab in chennai? Kiyo R&D Lab delivers clear images and confident elemental data for metals, plastics, electronics, and unknown particles.
From composition checks and coating analysis to defect and failure investigations, our expert team delivers sharp imaging, reliable EDS composition results, and audit-ready reports you can rely on.
SEM-EDX combines two techniques in one instrument. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) uses a focused electron beam to produce highly magnified images of a surface. EDX — also called EDS, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy — reads the characteristic X-rays each element emits, giving the elemental composition at the exact point being imaged. Together, a sem-edx testing lab in chennai can show you both what a surface looks like and what it’s made of.
For manufacturers, this confirms material and coating. For QC, it identifies contamination and defects. For failure work, it exposes fracture features, corrosion products, and foreign particles — all backed by images and spectra you can defend.
As a full-service sem-edx testing lab in chennai, we image and analyse a wide range of materials with combined SEM imaging and EDS elemental composition testing.

| Sample | What SEM-EDX Reveals | Answers |
|---|---|---|
| Metal / alloy | Elements & microstructure | Is it the right grade? |
| Unknown particle | Elemental signature | What is this speck? |
| Coating / plating | Layer composition | Correct coating? |
| Fracture surface | Fracture mode & residues | Why did it break? |
| Solder / PCB | Joint & pad composition | Where’s the defect? |
