Manganese Sample

Manganese Sample

Here is a blog that consists our data about the Manganese (Mn) Sample taken under the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Dr. Hassel and Dr. McColgan provided us with 3 stages that each consisted of 6 different element samples in them. This is the data we collected when we studied the Manganese Sample from these stages. Below is the data we collected:

Above is the spectrum for the Manganese Sample.

In the Manganese Sample we found traces of Potassium(K), Sodium(Na), Sulfur(S), and Manganese(Mn). The peaks we found were that Manganese peaked at 5.896 keV and 6.491 keV. For Potassium, it peaked at 3.316 keV. For Sodium, it peaked at 1.046 keV. Finally, for Sulfur it peaked at 2.311 keV.

 Below is the data we collected using the HD Prime X-Ray Flourescence (XRF) Analyzer:
