The high-caliber all-rounder
The FISCHERSCOPEยฎ X-RAY XDVยฎ-SDD is one of the most powerful X-ray fluorescence instruments in the Fischer portfolio . This XRF spectrometer is equipped with a high-resolution and powerful silicon drift detector (SDD) with an effective area of 50 mmยฒ. This allows you to measure even the thinnest layers precisely and non-destructively โ e. g. gold coatings about 2 nm thick on lead frames.
In combination with the new in-house developed digital pulse processor DPP+, you can boost your measurements performance to a new level. Even higher count rates can now be processed, resulting in shorter measuring times or improved repeatability of your measurement results.
At the same time, the XDV-SDD is perfectly suited for non-destructive material analysis. For example, its detection sensitivity for traces of lead in plastic is about 2 ppm โ several orders of magnitude lower than the values required by RoHS or CPSIA. To create ideal conditions for each XRF coating thickness measurement, the XDV-SDD has changeable collimators and primary filters, which allows working on a scientific level. The extremely robust device with its intuitive control panel is easy to operate via a joystick and buttons, and is designed specifically for series tests in industrial use.
Prior to hallmarking, for high sample volumes or large test parts: Measure gold content quickly and reliably
Reliably examine alloys or precious metals for the finest differences with the new FISCHERSCOPEยฎ X-RAY XDVยฎ-SDD. Obtain highly precise analyses, on the basis of which you can make reliable statements about the value of gold bars, coins or jewelry.
