About Probe Software, Inc.

EPMA Software for Users by Users

Probe Software was founded in 2005 by Barbara and John Donovan and is dedicated to offering the best software for acquisition, automation and analysis for modern JEOL and Cameca electron microprobe instruments. We work closely with all of our users which include top experts and analytical scientists at major universities, national laboratories and commercial sites to provide EPMA software that meets their specific analytical requirements.

We work interactively and cooperatively with commercial microanalysis instrument and hardware manufacturers to integrate their hardware and software with our software for seamless acquisition and re-processing.

Probe Software, Inc. is a SAM certified small business.
