The Ciros M offers high-end CCD performance at an affordable price, and may be a smart alternative for those considering the purchase or replacement of an AA or a sequential ICP
This measurement spot size flexibility allows the Midex M to adapt perfectly to match the surface conditions and the size of the sample area to be examined.
As universal analysis instruments, the Midex product family delivers fast, non-destructive analyses for a wide range of elements.
Using the newly developed, and Spectro proprietary, program FP+, analysis accuracy has been improved dramatically compared to 'classic' FP methods.
With the ultra-small measurement spots, in addition to the analysis of jewellery and dental alloys, the instruments are also well suited for archaeological and historical/preservation analysis purposes.
Further applications are found in forensics and criminology, processing industries, as well as for the examination of wear particles in lubricating oils.
In addition to the bulk or particle composition analysis, the instrument can also determine layer thickness quickly, accurately, and reliably.
The measurement time is typically just two to three minutes.
