X-ray microscope has extra-large sample
chamber
Larger chamber configuration allows areas up to 20cmx20cm to be mapped for elemental distribution from sodium (Na) to uranium (U), on samples as large as 50x50x30cm
Horiba Jobin Yvon is now offering an extra large sample chamber to complement the existing configurations of the XGT-5000 X-ray fluorescence microscope, selected by R and D Magazine's 100 Award as one of the most technologically significant products introduced into the market place Scientists wishing to harness the advantages of micro-EDXRF technology for analysis of larger, less standard sample forms will welcome this development

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
With the XL chamber configuration, areas up to 20cmx20cm can be mapped for elemental distribution, on samples as large as 50x50x30cm.
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 damage.
The unique X-ray guide tube (XGT) technology allows single point elemental analysis and mapped imaging with spot sizes down to 10um spatial resolution, at speeds up to 50 times faster than other XRF instruments in the market place.
Simultaneous acquisition of both EDXRF and transmission X-ray images gives a complete picture on sample structure and composition.
