The New Versatile Micro XRF
Orbis Elemental Analyzer
The Orbis incorporates a motorized
turret for coaxial sample view and
X-ray analysis. Primary beam filters
are used with X-ray optics for µ-spot
analyses. Minimal sample preparation
and improved sensitivity over SEM/EDS.
Applications: forensics, materials
I.D./compositional analysis, failure
analysis, RoHS/WEEE, non-destructive
testing, elemental imaging and more.
