Bruker M4 TORNADO PLUS Specifications.
Micro X-ray Fluorescence spectroscopy is a rapid and non-destructive technique used to acquire quantitative chemical data at high spatial resolution (i.e. µm-scale).
Featuring the new dual Silicon Drift Detectors (SDDs) combined with the new super-light element window the M4 TORNADO PLUS is able to detect from carbon (C) to uranium (U), making this the ultimate non-destructive tool available. Measurements are collected under vacuum or normal atmospheric conditions (air), with quantification limits ranging from parts per million to percentage. Going further than other micro-XRF’s on offer, the M4 TORNADO PLUS has the option to analyse at atmospheric pressures in conjunction with a helium-purge system.
Minimal to no sample preparation is required to produce a variety of 2D elemental and mineral maps. The large vacuum chamber enables element detection from U to Na. Customisable spot sizes down to 25 µm means that small-scale textural and compositional features can be identified, including those that may not be visibly discernible.
Heterogeneous samples are no longer a problem for qualitative and quantitative XRF analysis, with the element maps providing the ability to observe the spatial variation and concentration of major, minor and trace elements across large and small samples.
