X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF)

X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) is a powerful technique used to quickly analyze samples for nearly all elements on the periodic table above Na; low ppm levels to 100-wt% can be analyzed in seconds. IXRF Systems adapts this technology to the scanning electron microscope (SEM) eliminating the need for a separate XRF unit. Combining XRF and the electron beam brings two technologies together on a single sample, in the same location, at the same time!

Bulk XRF: fX-SEMTM

IXRF offers 500 µ up to 30 mm “bulk” xrf solutions that may be integrated with the SEM column.  The  fX-SEMTM  may be coupled with existing EDS/EDX systems or with the IXRF Iridium Ultra TM software suite for maximized utility.  Custom anodes are tailored to fit individual analytical needs.

 

XRF SOFTWARE

XRF Software

The IXRF software suite offers a fully quantitative package with several routines available.  XRF analysis can be performed “standardless” or standards can be utilized to build calibration files and improve accuracy. Full stage automation and x-ray elemental mapping captures ppm level “trace” maps completely unattended.  Store and recall maps to extract data for future analysis and reporting.
