Your Entry to the World of Automated XRF-Measurement
The FISCHERSCOPEยฎ X-RAY XDLยฎ and XDLMยฎ X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometers are closely related to the XUL series. All the main components โ such as the detector, X-ray tubes and filter combinations โ are identical. But there is a significant difference: The XDL and XDLM devices measure from top to bottom. And that means convenient XRF analysis of non-flat samples โ complex shapes are no longer a problem!
The top-down approach has another advantage: it makes for easy automated XRF measurements. Equipped with a programmable sample stage, the XDL 240 and XDLM 237 are ideal for scanning surfaces. So you can check the thickness of layers on larger parts or automatically measure lots of small parts one after another.
As with the XUL series, the โMโ in XDLM stands for โmicrofocus tubeโ. This means that these XRF devices are particularly well suited for analyzing small samples. With a measuring spot just 0.1 mm in diameter, the XDLM is perfect for the electronics industry.
