What is it about?
Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) in electron microscopy has been widely used in many research areas since it provides precise information on the chemical composition of subcellular structures that may be correlated with their high resolution images.

Why is it important?
In EDS the characteristic X-rays typical of each element are analyzed and the new detectors – an example of which we describe – allow for setting precisely the area of measurements and acquiring signals as a point analysis, as a linescan or in the image format of the desired area.
Perspectives
In this review we refer to recent EDS and EPMA (electron probe microanalysis) applications in medical diagnostics, studies on air pollution and agrochemicals as well as on plant models used to monitor the environment.
