In contrast, ion microprobes use focused beams of ions (charged atoms) to bombard a sample.
One way to avoid this problem is to use microprobes and design the surface pads for probing.
Electron microprobes bombard a small area of a sample (about 1 to 3 micrometers in diameter and depth) with focused electrons to produce x-rays, which are measured using a wavelength-dispersive (WD) or energy-dispersive (ED) spectrometer to provide quantitative and qualitative information element analysis.
