Discover how microXRF is transforming aerospace materials analysis in this IXRF Systems podcast episode. Learn how high-resolution, non-destructive elemental mapping improves alloy verification, coating inspection, and confidence in aerospace manufacturing and R&D.
In this podcast edition of Why High-Resolution MicroXRF Is Becoming Essential for Critical Mineral Strategy, we explore how advanced micro-XRF — with 5–10 µm imaging and mineral-level classification — uncovers the fine-scale mineral features that traditional XRF core scanners miss. Featuring the Atlas Apex X, the episode reveals why micro-scale resolution matters for evaluating rare-earth, lithium, niobium-tantalum, and PGE deposits — and how it strengthens resource assessment, processing planning, and long-term critical mineral strategy.
In this episode, we break down how IXRF Systems’ ATLAS microXRF transforms the way researchers and engineers analyze multi-layer thin films. From semiconductors and optical coatings to art conservation and advanced manufacturing, microXRF delivers non-destructive, high-resolution insights into film composition, thickness, uniformity, and contaminants. We explore how the technology works, best practices for calibration, real-world applications, and why matched standards are essential for accurate results. If you work with thin films—or rely on them for quality control, product development, or research—this episode will give you a clear, practical understanding of what microXRF can do and how to get the most reliable data from it.
In this episode, we explore how operando microXRF is transforming battery research. Discover how a collaboration between IXRF Systems and the Université du Québec à Montréal achieved synchrotron-level insights using a benchtop system. Learn how this breakthrough enables real-time monitoring of electrolyte salt gradients, reduces beam damage, and democratizes access to advanced chemical imaging—accelerating innovation in lithium-ion battery design and performance.
