Screening of Restricted Elements including Sample Thickness Correction with the M1 MISTRAL Micro-XRF Spectrometer
|
This webinar will discuss the benefits of Micro-XRF for the screening of restricted elements using the M1 MISTRAL Micro-XRF spectrometer. Designed for fast and cost-efficient operation, the M1 MISTRAL provides accurate information on the elemental composition of materials through contactless and non-destructive analysis. It allows screening of restricted elements (heavy elements), which can partly replace or limit the amount of more costly analysis methods such as ICP-MS. Virtually all kind of samples can be analyzed in this way, no matter the density.

Strengths of the M4 TORNADO FP Quantification: Keeping Performance even with Primary Filtering - Focusing on Steel
|
This webinar will discuss the M4 Tornado’s powerful set of analytical tools for qualitative and quantitative analysis. While usually XRF quantification is a two-step process of deriving net peak intensities and from these calculating the sample composition, the quantification algorithm of the M4 Tornado integrates both steps. Strong peak overlaps and pronounced absorption effects are treated to the best of knowledge, providing more robust results.

Spatially Resolved Layer Thickness Analysis of Thin Metal Coatings with Micro-XRF
|
This Webinar will discuss the creation of layer models in XMethod and the application of such analytical methods using the M4 TORNADO. The focus will be on metallic coatings on different substrates and for different applications such as Au/Pd/Ni on copper on a printed circuit board (PCB) and metallic coatings on glass. A comparison of results for calibration standards will be performed in order to demonstrate precision and reproducibility.

Automated Analysis of Decorative and Functional Coatings with the M1 MISTRAL Micro-XRF Spectrometer
|
This webinar will discuss the measurements of coatings on electronic parts using the M1 MISTRAL Micro-XRF spectrometer. You will get to know how the new XSpect Pro software enables a straightforward, automated analysis along the sample stage for a wide range of coatings in the electronics, automotive and jewelry industry. You will see how the thickness of multilayers as well as their composition can be easily measured and statistically evaluated. You will also learn how regular point patterns can be programmed and, by use of reference points, transferred onto samples of the same structure.

Elemental Analysis in Tissue Engineering and Biomaterials Fields with Micro-XRF
|
The M4 TORNADO provides a level of sensitivity to relatively light elements under ambient conditions and mapping resolution down to 10–20 µm, which is offering a huge potential in the tissue engineering and biomaterials field. Special guest of this one-hour webinar will be Dr. Richard L. Williams, University of Birmingham, UK. He is one of the first users utilising benchtop Micro-XRF to aid in understanding bone disease processes and to characterize biomaterial chemistry within hydrogels. The seminar will include examples of work across these fields along with tips on sample preparation.
