Area occupied by the phases. For each individual phase (P1 to Pn), the list below the phase
image shows the values for the area they occupy. Click on the right-facing arrow next to Area for
selecting the area unit (pixels, µm
2

2
or %).
Change the name of a phase. The name of a phase can be changed by highlighting the phase
within the list below the phase image and then clicking on the current name (e.g., “P1”). Pressing
Enter after changing the name will apply the name change to the main phase image and the
clipboard.
Phase images can be saved by using the Import/Export menu ( icon next to the phase image).
The final image can be added to the current project, placed onto a report page ready for printing
(option Print), saved in one of the common image file formats, or copied as graphic onto the
Windows
®
clipboard. Within the project or report the phase image is treated as an element map,
i.e. phases can be added or deselected by double-clicking on the image.
6.9.7 Quantification of area distributions
The quantification of all single pixel spectra of an area distribution is not recommended since the
number of counts per pixel is usually too low and the calculation time is too long. Therefore, it is
recommended to bin pixels. So the counts per spectrum are increased to obtain better
quantification results and at the same time the number of pixels is reduced so that the
quantification can be performed in a shorter time.
The quantification settings have been already described in section 6.4.2 and can be used here in
the same way. It is recommended to preselect the elements to reduce the calculation time (avoid
Auto-ID).
The quantification can be started with the button. The quantification runs over the
complete mapped area and generates concentration images.
6.10 Using the M4 TORNADO Report Editor
The Report workspace permits the generation of graphical documentations of the measured data
and analysis results. These reports also serve as containers for relevant measurement data of
spectra, images, mapping etc.
