Adjustable spot size

The spot size can be adjusted in five steps to match the structure of the sample

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.

Applications of the M6 JETSTREAM in Cultural Heritage

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.

Looking Behind Raphael's "Baglioni Entombment"

Analysis of the layers in Raphael's "Baglioni Entombment", part of the collection at Rome's Galleria Borghese, was carried out to find out more about the order in which the painting was constructed and to discover more about its history. Read more about the project here.
