Conclusions
As demonstrated,M4 Tornado is able to perform quick and non-destructively elemental mapping analysis for examining various element distribution on Plant Leaf Sample sincluding the following capabilities:
1.High number of samples loading at one time with large sample chamber
2.Varying Plant Nutrients Elemental Distribution Study including Ca,Co,K,Ni and Mn on Plant Leaf Samples with minimal sample preparation efforts(Freeze-dried condition,prepared by customer in this case)
3.“False Color Display”function mode helps in element distribution examination to further extent
