X-ray scope has large sample chamber
Larger sample chambers enable the scientist to adapt EDXRF technology to applications that typically require X-ray analysis of larger, less standard sample forms
The XGT-5000 desktop X-ray analytical microscope was selected by R and D Magazine's 100 Award as 'one of the most technologically significant products introduced into the marketplace' Designed in a compact desktop configuration, the XGT-5000 is an ideal analytical instrument well suited for the space efficient laboratory

X-ray 'scope for fluorescence and transmission
Unique combination of surface and transmission X-ray analysis provides a complete elemental characterisation of a sample in one simple step
To extend the capabilities of the XGT-5000 system, Horiba is now offering larger sample chambers, enabling the scientist to adapt EDXRF technology to applications that typically require X-ray analysis of larger, less standard sample forms.
Key features of the XGT-5000 are non-destructive microscopic elemental analysis and mapping under atmospheric pressure.
With a detectable range from sodium (Na) to uranium (U), the XGT-5000 can measure a wide range of samples including those containing water, without damaging the sample.
With Horiba's highly efficient and ultra-narrow X-ray guide tube (XGT), 10um spatial resolution is achieved allowing high resolution elemental mapping at speeds claimed to be up to 50 times faster than other XRF instruments on the market.
Simultaneous acquisition of both EDXRF and transmission X-ray images gives a complete picture on sample structure and composition.
