O ESPRIT 2 une quatro métodos analíticos em uma única interface de usuário. Estes incluem EDS para SEM e (S)TEM, WDS, Micro-XRF para SEM e EBSD. Isso torna mais fácil para o usuário alternar entre os métodos com um único clique do mouse. Além disso, facilita a combinação de resultados de métodos diferentes da mesma área de amostra e, assim, obter muito mais informações. Para citar apenas os mais importantes, o acoplamento dos seguintes métodos é suportado:
O software foi projetado para atender às necessidades de todos os níveis de usuários - do iniciante ao especialista. Os novatos se beneficiarão dos assistentes que ajudam a realizar tarefas de rotina sem precisar aprender detalhes do método de medição. Usuários mais experientes valorizarão a opção de detalhar mais profundamente, quando precisarem, o que significa tanto a configuração detalhada das medições quanto a análise aprofundada dos resultados e a automação das tarefas.
The ESPRIT pattern analysis engines have been completely redesigned to match the massive jump in speed brought by eWARP EBSD detector. More than 20,000 patterns per second can now be analyzed (band detection and indexing) thanks to its new algorithms combined with a 24 core Intel processor. Offline reindexing of EBSD maps can be done at speeds that can reach up to 100,000 points per second.
The quantum leap in ESPRIT’s speed performance is essential for boosting productivity and will fundamentally transform the use of the EBSD technique in advancing science and technology.
The ESPRIT user interface was designed for ease of use while maintaining flexibility. The software automates all tasks that can be handled without compromising speed and data quality. For experienced users who wish to experiment with specific parameters, ESPRIT offers the necessary tools to do so.
The ESPRIT software provides a wide array of options for offline processing and interpretation of EBSD data. Standard post-processing tools, such as crystal orientation distribution representation, grain reconstruction, misorientation maps, and texture component maps, are enhanced by robust subset creation and processing capabilities.
This suite of post-processing tools enables the quantification of microstructures and the correlation of these results with material properties or the processes to which samples are subjected.
The two different but complementary techniques, EBSD and EDS, are fully integrated in the ESPRIT software suite allowing the operator to execute different analytical tasks without constantly switching between programs.
Simultaneous acquisition of EBSD and EDS data is one click away and it provides the best of each technique in a single dataset, i.e. each pixel in the map contains an EDS spectrum and the EBSD data.
The combination of the two techniques on the same software platform results in increased productivity, improved data quality and above all – processing and understanding results is much easier.

ESPRIT software enables the export of EBSD and EDS data in various formats, such as HDF5, facilitating the exchange of both results and raw data among researchers. Additionally, templates can be created and utilized to automatically generate reports.
