The PELCO® XCS EDS calibration standards are practical, high quality and compact EDS calibration standards using a standard type 12.7mm (1/2") pin stub as retainer.
The small size of the pin stub allows for using the PELCO® XCS calibration standard alongside specimens on readily available multi pin stub holders.

This enables quick in-situ calibration and regular performance tests of the EDS system, Back Scattered Electron Detector and light element detection performance of the EDS detector.

The pure elements and compounds are mounted in the 12.7mm (1/2") stubs using a highly conductive silver epoxy.
All PELCO® XCS calibration standards are carbon coated for improved conductivity.

The PELCO® XCS EDS calibration standards are available in 7 fixed configurations:
