Overview of the processing options on the XPS Nexsa

The acquisition of an instrument like the Nexsa has to be done through a EU tender process. As a somewhat unexpected result of this process, we were offered the Nexsa at a very favorable price. We were therefore able to squeeze all but one of the available options into the budget. That is, of course, very nice indeed, but it also means that we will have to investigate the applications of the various techniques as there is no applications waiting for a specific technique to become available.

We have therefore compiled the table below that contains articles and application notes in which several of the available techniques are used

The columns contain the following information (excluded are the columns where the content is evident):

  • Title: Click on the title to access a pdf version of the article/application note.
  • Web of Science: Click here to access the article in the Web of Science database (log on to WoS via DTU Inside in advance, click this link ). This will enable you to browse the cited references and citations of the article.
  • Abstract: Hover the mouse over the text to show the abstract of the article.
