Material analysis
Possible Applications
The X-ray fluorescence analysis can be used for
- Research
- Product Development
- Quality Control
Listed below is a small sample of the wide variety of possible applications. We have a comprehensive range of application examples available, and would be happy to supply on request.
Forensic Investigation
- Particle Identification (Glass, pigments, metals etc..)
- Analysis of drug particles
- Investigation of bank notes and coins to identify forgeries
- Investigation of gun shot residue
Failure Analysis
- Identification of inclusions (in plastics, paints)
- Contamination on contacts
- Characterisation of wear debris in engine oil
Characterisation of Inhomogeneous samples
- Investigation of sediment structures in bore cores
- Analysis of geological samples
- Non-destructive investigation of art objects for the determination of it’s construction and the distribution of layers, pigments etc..
Investigation of elemental distribution in - biological samples (cells and cell structure)
Automatic analysis of large sample quantities
- e.g. area of combinational investigations
Layer investigations
- Layer Analysis of electronic components, up to layer thicknesses of 1 nm on areas down to < 50 µm
- Analysis of complex multi-layer systems such as solar cells
Thickness Measurement
- Measurement of thickness from metallic coatings, for single layer up to triple layer
- Analysis of concentration in alloys
- Analysis of metal ions in bath solution
