Résumé
Cette contribution décrit l'utilisation en analyseur d'images d'un appareil Camebax-Micro. La configuration initiale utilisait quatre spectromètres à cristaux. On y a inclu le signal dû aux électrons rétrodiffusés. On décrit la technique d'adaptation et on présente quelques exemples d'applications.


Abstract
This paper describes how the Camebax-Micro has been adapted for use as an automatic image analyser. Initially, the system was based on the simultaneous use of four wavelength-dispersive spectrometers but the system has been developed to incorporate the back-scattered electron signal. Details are provided of the way the microanalyser was converted and examples are given of the results that are being produced.
