EDS-Lite, Quantitative Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy of Light Elements

Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) is a tool of choice for many food research, food forensics and problem solving projects. Although the need for medium and heavy element analysis is common in foods, and includes EDS, ICP and XRF, the need for light element analysis should be obvious in the prevalence of Carbon, Nitrogen and Oxygen. These light elements can present some of our most unique challenges.
