| Principle
of operation |
| Interaction of high
energy X-rays with atoms of an element results in the ejection of electrons
from the innermost orbital of the atoms while the electrons from the outermost
orbital fall into the above vacant position, generating fluorescent X-rays
that are characteristic of the element. |
| Capability |
- Unambiguous analysis
of a wide range of elements with atomic numbers from 4 (Beryllium) to 92
(Uranium) present in solids, liquids and powder samples
- Elements can be detected
through qualitative analysis mode
- Quantitative analysis
of an element can be performed with an accuracy of 0.01%
- Operation controlled
by super-Q software, compatible with Windows operating system

| Sample
detail |
The sample must
be in solid form. Powder samples are used and the minimum weight to be
made available is 5 gm. |
