Micro-XRF Integrates Video and X-ray optics

The Orbis micro-XRF elemental analyzer system from Edax, Inc. incorporates a motorized turret that integrates video and X-ray optics, allowing coaxial sample view and X-ray analysis. Two additional X-ray collimators can be added to the optical turret for a total of three X-ray beam sizes to expand the instrument's analytical capabilities beyond traditional micro-XRF analysis. This tabletop unit's working distance is also increased to allow analysis over rough sample topography without sacrificing signal intensity. Primary beam filters can be used with a variety of X-ray optics to allow true XRF analytical capabilities in a micro-spot analysis. The system is available with mono-capillary optics or as the Orbis PC with an ultra high-intensity poly-capillary optic. Detection limits with this configuration can be <5 ppm for a spot size of 30 to 40 um using primary beam filters. Users can make elemental analyses on small samples such as particles, fragments, and inclusions. Or users can conduct automated multi-point and elemental imaging analysis on larger samples with the benefits and simplicity of an XRF analyzer.
