Further Enhance your Analytical Capabilities 

The M4 TORNADO can be further enhanced with optional features to address your analytical challenges. From the analysis of light elements to the high-resolution imaging of samples with complex topographies. 

LE Option: Light Element Detection with the M4 TORNADO

Light element analysis is possible using the M4 TORNADO Light Element (LE) option.

The LE option significantly improves sensitivity in the low-energy range of 0.5–4 keV facilitating the micro-XRF analysis of elements as light as oxygen. This is achieved through advanced detector technology with ultra-thin windows, a fully controlled vacuum system that enhances low-energy X-ray transmission, and a magnetic electron trap that reduces noise and protects the detector.

Together, these features deliver clear, reliable results for elements such as sodium, magnesium, aluminum, and fluorine. 

If even greater levels of light element detection are required we recomend using the M4 TORNADO PLUS

NIST 620 spectra measured with the M4 TORNADO, M4 TORNADO – LE and M4 TORNADO PLUS. The LE option significantly increases sensitivity in the low energy range for the M4 TORNADO. The M4 TORNADO PLUS further benefits from an optimized source.

AMS Option: Sharper Results with Smart Aperature Management System

The Aperture Management System (AMS) option for the M4 TORNADO enhances micro-XRF performance by reducing beam divergence and maintaining a nearly constant spot size, even on samples with uneven surfaces. By reshaping the polycapillary output into a more focused beam profile, AMS preserves high intensity while delivering improved spatial resolution without the need for additional optics.

AMS is available in two options (500 or 1000) which, when needed, can be seamlessly inserted into the beam path via software control.  

The AMS Option is particularly valuable for the analysis of samples with fine structural details and surfaces of high topography, such as geological samples, cultural heritage objects and advanced materials. 

Micro-XRF maps of an emerald sample with over 5 mm topography, measured without AMS (left) and with AMS 500 (right); the AMS 500 reduces beam diameter from approximately 300 μm to less than 150 μm, enabling clear visualization of Cr zonation bands.
