Revealing Hidden High Speed Phenomena

Specialised Imaging (Tring, UK) has reached agreement with L3 Applied Technologies Pulse Sciences (San Leandro, CA, USA) to distribute the L3 PS line of Flash X-Ray Systems throughout Europe. These X-ray systems provide a unique method of imaging very fast events which cannot be captured using normal photographic techniques. X-ray images can be obtained in 20 to 50 nanoseconds even through smoke, fire and metal. Even under the harshest conditions precise details of a test event can be recorded. more23.12.2009

Apollo SDD Series for EDS Analysis

EDAX has introduced the next series of Apollo SDD detectors for X-ray microanalysis. "While the Apollo Series offers a range of detector sizes and performance levels including a large-area SDD chip," notes Judy O'Loughlin, Director of Product Marketing for EDAX, "it emphasizes a more important feature, the positioning of the detectors close to the sample, making it comparable to the best-designed Si(Li) detectors. EDAX's Apollo Series offers users the best of both worlds. All SDDs are able to map at high resolution, and all SDDs can map at high count rates. more18.12.2009

To Change the Way You Do Analysis

With the implementation of Smart Features that provide Analytical Intelligence, the user can easily obtain quality and reliable results in no time. Smart features allow for optimal analysis set-up automatically selected by the system. These features include:
Smart Diagnostics: The Environment Panel (EP) monitors and reports on the operating conditions of the environment. Smart Diagnostics monitors the column, stage, detector, and magnification of the system. more03.12.2009

Combination of X-Ray and Fluorescence Brings It Up

Caliper Life Sciences introduced the IVIS Lumina XR in vivo imaging system, the latest addition to the IVIS product family. IVIS Lumina XR offers all the benefits together with x-ray. Precise optical and X-ray overlay allows you to bring your optical signal into anatomical context. more06.11.2009

Step up to a New Level of Speed

Quantax is a powerful system available for energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis on SEM and electron microprobe. Several system levels and a multitude of options are available for scaling and tuning the system for a wide range of analytical tasks and application environments. Systems of all levels provide state-of-the-art qualitative as well as true standardless quantitative elemental analysis. A standard based Φ(ρ, z) quantification package is optionally available for dedicated analytical tasks. more06.11.2009

Just a Few Seconds

With the X-ray Guide Tube the bench top XGT-5000 systems allow convenient access to X-ray fluorescence analysis with high spatial resolution - from 1.2 mm down to 10 µm (HORIBA original). Two X-ray guide tubes (1.2 mm and 100 µm are standard, 10 µm is optional instead of 100 µm) are provided in the instrument, allowing the user to simply switch between a micro and macro beams, so that a range of experiments can be accommodated. more06.11.2009

Line-up to Analyze

XGT-1700WR the new line-up of XGT-1000WR series and equipped with new optical system to analyze elements with high sensitivity. These models use an X-ray guide tube to generate a 3mm irradiation beam with multi-filter with 4 specific filters (Pb/Cd/Cr,Cl/5 WR elements) and secondary filter(between sample and detector) with ON/OFF positions are equipped. Improved detection sensitivity is realized through the use of a dual filter. XGT-1700WR is equipped with dewar of liquid nitrogen. more06.11.2009

High-Resolution with X-Ray

Horiba Jobin Yvon presents two systems for high resolution microscopy. The XGT-7000 represents a completely new generation of XRF microscope. It offers a seamless merger between optical observation and elemental analysis functions. Unique hardware features ensure the system offers versatility and flexibility for every measurement. A choice of two software controlled x-ray guide tubes with diameters ranging from a unique 10 µm through to 1.2 mm allow conditions to be optimised for a range of measurements, including both micro and macro. more
