Thank-you Julien, we have a great team.

As many of you know, from the Standard Assignments dialog in Probe for EPMA, one can plot TDI intensity curves for point analyses:

The same dialog in CalcImage displays every nth pixel, to get a sampling of the TDI curves:

Now we have added a new window in CalcImage (see the Run menu) that allows the user to select a group of pixels to display TDI intensities from replicate x-ray maps extrapolating back to zero time for correction of beam sensitive samples in quantitative x-ray maps as seen here:



In addition one can select a single pixel TDI curve if desired:



Update from the Help | Update Probe for EPMA menu as usual...

That's a really great feature, thanks John!

I don't suppose you'd like to add a way of displaying just an average TDI plot of a selected region, rather than all the individual pixel TDI values?

That's what the Export button is for!

I should remind people that starting in v. 1.4.1 of Probe Image there is a new "replicate" feature that allows one to acquire TDI maps automatically using a single mapping sample:

That means that it is no longer necessary to acquire multiple on-peak maps and use the Convert menu to convert those multiple "on-peak" map acquisitions into "TDI" maps as was described here:
