State of the Art in Large Area micro-XRF

Micro-XRF on large samples (also called macro-XRF or MA-XRF) has become a decisive method for the analysis of paintings, geological samples, archeological artifacts and industrial components. The M6 JETSTREAM drives these analyses to the highest speed and accuracy. With its mobile wheelbase and adjustable frame, the M6 JETSTREAM can be used on-site instead of transporting the sample to the lab.

  • Measurement of upright samples or horizontal surfaces
  • Scannable area up to 800 x 600 mm²
  • "On the fly" analysis for highest mapping speed
  • Adjustable spot size to match the structure of the sample
  • XFlash® SDD technology with up to 2 x 60 mm² detector area
  • Optional aperture management system (AMS) to gain depth of focus on uneven surfaces

Going 3D - Micro-XRF Scanning of Highly-Topographic Cultural Heritage Objects

The elemental mapping of  3D cultural heritage objects or those with a high surface topography is possible using the right system. Here we demonstrate how the M6 JETSTREAM, with its patented Aperture Management System (AMS), can vizualize the elements in areas that are as far as 10 cm away from the spectrometer.

Elemental maps for lead, mercury, potassium and gold for a tibetan bhuddist thangka painting

Micro-XRF Imaging of a Tibetan Buddhist Thangka Painting

Micro-XRF scanning is well suited to the analysis of paintings. In this case study we demonstrate the capabilities of spatially resolved micro-XRF analysis using an M6 JETSTREAM on a Thangka, a Tibetan Bhuddist artwork that is traditionally painted following an established workflow.
