Bruker M4 Tornado micro-XRF
Large sample energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer for elemental point analysis or elemental imaging
Description
The Tornado is an energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer with focussing optics and a movable stage for elemental point analysis or elemental imaging of relatively large samples. Not suited for SEM-EDX.
- Semi-quantitative and quantitative analysis from Na to U with low limits of detection.
- Line scan across a sample surface
- Elemental mapping across a sample surface
Specifications
- Polycapillary focussing optics enabling X-ray spot size down to 20 micrometres.
- Measurement under vacuum or He for vacuum sensitive samples to minimise X-ray attenuation from air.
- XFlash silicon drift detector.
- Two detectors at different orientations to minimise diffraction artefacts during imaging.
Applications
- Forensics
- Mineralogy
- Electronics
- Micro-contamination detection
- Biology
- Environment
