/ˈɛnərdʒi dɪˈspɜːsɪv spɛkˈtrɒskəpi/noun
ELI5 mode

Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) is an analytical technique used in microscopy to identify the elemental composition of materials by detecting X-rays emitted from a sample under electron bombardment. It provides rapid, non-destructive insights into atomic structures, making it essential for fields like materials science and forensics, where it helps uncover hidden details in everything from ancient artifacts to modern semiconductors.
