The
XGT-5000 or XGT-7000 can be configured with two beam
sizes (for example, 10 µm and 100 mm), allowing both micro
and macro point analysis.
The range of measurable sample area extends
from a minimum diameter of 10 µm to a maximum area
of 10 cm x10 cm, making the XGT systems compatible with
a wide range of
sample sizes. This flexible system covers everything
from macro analysis, for a general survey of a wide area,
to
the inspection of a specific micro area.
Range of Acquisition
Functions - Single Point, Multi-Point, Mapped Images
Macro
and micro areas can be quickly analyzed, whether by single
point, multi-point or automated XY mapping. Additional
information on sample structure, and location of regions
of interest is enhanced with the transmission x-ray mapped
imaging capability.
Internal
Analysis and Foreign Material Analysis
Unlike
an electron beam used in SEM/EDX instruments, the irradiated
X-Rays penetrate deep within the sample, providing transmitted
images and also making it possible to obtain information
about the elements inside the sample. Thus, elemental
analysis of inclusions and encased features (for example,
electronics within moulded plastic case) is now possible.
Analysis
at Normal Atmospheric Pressure
With
HORIBA's original vacuum
probe, analysis is performed
at normal atmospheric pressure. As
a result, samples containing
water, even plant and animal tissue, can be measured
and analyzed, without any pre-processing.
There is no damage to the sample, making the XGT systems
well suited for medical and biological applications as
well.
