Wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer (WD-XRF) ZSX Primus II
Trade name
Wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer (WD-XRF) Rigaku ZSX Primus II
Technical description
The ZSX Primus II RIGAKU X-ray Fluorescence Wave Dispersion Spectrometer (WDXRF) enables qualitative and quantitative analysis of elements in the range from nitrogen (N) to uranium (U) (Z = 7 - 92).
Spectrometer characteristics:
- X-ray tube with Rh anode, power 4kW, with front window Be (30µm) placed over the analysed sample
- accelerating voltage in the range of 2-60 kV and electron beam current in the range of 2-150 mA
- selectable primary beam filter (four filters: Ni-400, Ni-40, Al-125, Al-25)
- the ability to choose the diameter of the analysing beam (six masks with diameters: 35, 30, 20, 10, 1 and 0.5 mm)
- the ability to rotate the sample during measurement
- 7 analysis crystals for measurements in the N – U range
- mapping system (spot measurement) with CCD camera
- two detectors, scintillation and proportional flow, for the analysis of heavy and light elements, respectively.
