The
XGT-7000 provides the user with the most flexible platform possible for elemental
micro analysis. 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.
Similarly, with with unique Dual Vacuum Modes it is possible to switch within
seconds between the high sensitivity full vacuum mode and the versatile localised
vacuum mode, which maintains samples at atmospheric
pressure whilst retaining sensitivity to all elements from sodium to uranium.
In any configuration the intelligent combination of optical cameras ensure that the precise analysis position can be quickly and simply located. The sample can then be characterised with single point, automated multipoint, and full hyperspectral element imaging experiments. Element peaks are automatically located and labelled, and quantitative analysis down to ppm levels can be carried out using the fundamental parameters method (FPM), FPM with single standard, and full standard sample calibration.
The Smartmap imaging software records a full EDXRF spectrum at each and every pixel of the element image, enabling post-acquisition element image generation and comparison, and spectrum generation from user defined regions in the image with subsequent qualitative and quantitative characterisation. Transmitted x-ray imaging provides additional insight into a sample’s structure, allowing features invisible by eye to become immediately apparent.
