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
