Introducing AZtec
AZtec is the most powerful, most flexible materials characterisation system you’ll ever see.
AZtec was designed from the ground up to integrate all microanalysis techniques and unleash the potential of our latest detectors. The result? Whether novice or expert, AZtec ensures you will get the correct results time and time again, and faster than any other system on the market.
Building on 40 years experience and the feedback from the world’s largest microanalysis user community, AZtec is everything you’d expect of an Oxford Instruments' system.
Only better.

Accurate
It’s not just about faster data acquisition, it’s ensuring that the results are correct, gaining a deeper understanding of the sample, and reporting faster. Oxford Instruments’ reputation is built on data integrity. AZtec takes that to a new level...
- The EDS engine, ‘Tru-Q™’, uses new technology to deliver results that previously could only be achieved by experts
-
The EBSD engine, ‘Tru-I™’, guarantees that you’ll see the real differences in your sample
-
The best results automatically, AZtec takes care of element ID, quantitative analysis, pulse pile-up removal and more
-
Tailor your analysis when needed
-
No prior knowledge of the sample required – AZtec will unveil all the elements and the structure

Work the way you want...
-
The ‘Guided Mode’ is ideal for those preferring a ‘step-by-step’ approach to analysis - they’ll see what is happening and what to do next
-
Want to work in a more flexible way? Flip into ‘Custom Mode’ at any time and have all the freedom you need
-
Choice of screen colour palettes specifically designed for brightly lit areas, darkened rooms, or personal preference
-
Customised, interactive reporting
Structured
Work to your standard operating procedures...
-
On-screen ‘step notes’ help infrequent users follow AZtec procedures to achieve the right results time after time
-
Eliminate the paper trail – create custom on-screen Standard Operating Procedures that dynamically describe each stage of your procedures
-
Personalised profiles adapt AZtec to each user and each task in seconds
-
Reporting against your corporate template
Integrated
-
AZtec combines next-generation detector hardware, multi-tasking software, and decades of microanalysis know-how to create the ultimate system for materials characterisation...
-
One interface for all microanalysis techniques
-
Combines the data from EBSD and EDS detectors in real-time
-
Collects full EDS spectral maps simultaneously with EBSD so re-analysis and re-interpretation is easy
