Investment costs are always an important consideration. Of course, the budget also plays a role when choosing an X-ray fluorescence analyser. However, the most expensive measuring device is not automatically the most suitable for every measuring task. It is much more important to determine the ideal measuring device with the optimum features against the background of the given requirements and objectives. In terms of appropriate use, the following applies: The value of the measuring instrument depends on the complexity of the requirements. In order to find a suitable X-ray fluorescence analyser (XRF instrument) for a specific measurement task, all possible influencing factors must be taken into account: Sample type, sample size, sample geometry, coating thickness range, required measurement spot size, measurement mode (coating thickness measurement and / or material analysis), complexity of the measurement task, number of coatings, tolerances of the process to be monitored, etc. 

In this application note you will learn, among other things:
