XRF analysis for sophisticated demands
The FISCHERSCOPEยฎ X-RAY XDALยฎ is the best X-ray fluorescence measuring instrument of the XDL series. Like its โlittle brothersโ, this XRF instrument measures from top to bottom, which makes testing even oddly shaped samples easy and convenient. In order to optimize the measuring conditions to your task, the FISCHERSCOPE X-RAY XDAL comes with exchangeable collimators and filters as standard equipment.
The more demanding the measurement task, the more important the type of detector! The FISCHERSCOPE X-RAY XDAL therefore offers 3 different semiconductor detectors.
The silicon PIN diode is a mid-range detector and well suited for measuring multiple elements over a relatively large measuring area. When equipped with a PIN, the XDAL is often used for inspecting hard material coatings.
The high-quality silicon drift detector (SDD) offers better energy resolution than the silicon PIN diode. Thusly outfitted XDAL spectrometers are used for solving complex measurement tasks in the electronics industry: for example, the XRF measurement of thin alloy layers, or material analysis of very similar elements such as gold and platinum. This is the trusted XRF instrument for quality control with ENIG and ENEPIG applications.
For particularly tough challenges, Fischer also offers an SDD with an extra-large detector surface. The strength of this detector lies in its ability to reliably measure layers down to the range of just a few nanometers, and to do trace analysis in the per mill range. With these XDAL devices, you can test the lead content in solders meant for high-reliability applications to avoid tin whiskers.
