Another customer/colleague testimonial:

"Adelaide Microscopy has been utilising Probe for EPMA since the installation of our Cameca SXFive in 2013. Its easy and user friendly implementation of many advanced analytical features, of which our instrument manufacturers software does not contain, made it an attractive purchase and now impossible to go back.

The list of features in Probe for EPMA is extensive ranging from simple to complex applications, however even the more simple routine features such as the Mean Atomic Number (MAN) correction for major element analyses is invaluable, cutting analytical times almost in half for many analyses. The Time Dependant Intensity (TDI) corrections for volatile elements in minerals such as apatite, glasses, and hydrated minerals is extremely important and cannot be done without now.

In addition, it cannot be understated how valuable support is from Probe Software. In these times of fast paced research, analytical ideas and techniques can evolve rapidly. In many situations this can require fast feedback from instrument or software developers, and is typically not the type of response one gets from large companies and manufacturers, where inquiries and suggestions for software changes can go unheard or can take many months to implement.

Over the years there has not been a single time where Probe Software have not responded to inquiries rapidly, and in many cases fixed bugs and developed and implemented software features at the recommendation of its users. The involvement of the Probe for EPMA developers in the scientific community and their willingness to implement features in Probe for EPMA when appropriate is just as important as the software itself, and is another reason why Adelaide Microscopy would highly endorse its use to any probe laboratory."
