How the XGT-9000SL provides the ultimate performance in speed and flexibility

Excitation system XGT-9000SL allows X-ray fluorescence analysis at the microscopic level even on a large sample by using microprobes such as <15 µm and <100 µm ultra-high intensity probes. The X-ray generator can offer high output of X-ray irradiation up to 50 kV and 1000 µA. Thus, the high performance of the excitation system provides ultimate performance and flexibility for your large sample analysis.
Optical images Capturing clear images is critical for micro-XRF. XGT-9000SL provides two types of cameras to grasp the image of the whole sample and its details down to the microscopic level. Multiple illumination modes help to observe brilliant images, even for reflective and transparent samples.
Sample chamber XGT-9000SL’s large chamber capacity (1030 mm x 950 mm x 500 mm) can accommodate a wide variety of samples from micro-size fragments to samples as large as electronic circuit boards and paintings. XGT-9000SL is equipped with X-ray shields complying with JAIMAS0101-2001/IEC1010-1, which protect you from X-ray exposure. XGT-9000SL can allow sample analysis without destructive sample preparation or compromising your safety.
Detectors XGT-9000SL provides both a transmission X-ray detector and a fluorescent X-ray detector. The transmission X-ray detector enables users to detect internal defects and foreign matter of a sample. The fluorescent X-ray detector can detect from Americium down to carbon, with a light elements detector and He-purge module.
Software suite XGT-9000SL software, of course, covers all basic measurements such as single spot analysis, multiple spot analysis, line analysis, and map imaging. Apart from the standard software functions, advanced modules can be added to the software suite to provide more comprehensive user experiences. These include: Multilayer FPM module for thickness measurement with/without standards RoHS module for RoHS screening Queue module for automated multiple measurements in unattended mode Particle Finding module for particle composition/classification analysis and co-localized analysis LabSpec Link module for data transfer to LabSpec 6 for multivariate analysis

Glass-Filled Ruby Characterization with the XGT-9000, HORIBA’s new micro-XRF

Gemstones for jewelry are treated by heating, irradiation, or filling of cracks to make them flawless. We performed imaging analyses using an XGT-9000 X-ray Analytical Microscope on a ruby provided by Mineralab. The transmission X-ray imaging revealed that the ruby included several internal defects, and the fluorescent X-ray imaging revealed that the ruby surface was treated by filling with Pb, Mg and Si which are representative of lead glass.

Non-destructive thickness and composition analysis of NiP/Au plating on Cu contacts using micro-XRF

We carried out plating thickness and composition analysis on dual-layer NiP/Au plating on Cu contacts on a flexible printed circuit using a HORIBA X-ray analytical microscope. We successfully detected Au of ultra-thin layer without any sample preparation. The thickness results of Au and NiP plating were consistent with the provided values and with good repeatability.

Non-destructive large area elemental map imaging on the painting “Flower Vase with Thistles” using the XGT-9000SL

Pigments are important clues to the historical background of artworks. This application note introduces elemental map imaging performed on Vincent van Gogh’s oil painting “Flower Vase with Thistles” using the XGT-9000SL. The results reveal that elemental compositions of the pigments used on the painting were different from ones previously reported to have been used by van Gogh. It suggests that this painting was a replica of the artwork.

Non-destructive failure analysis of a commercial PEMFC using a micro-XRF with a super large chamber

We introduce non-destructive failure analysis on a large membrane electrode assembly (MEA) from a commercial PEMFC stack using a HORIBA XGT-9000SL, a micro-XRF with an extra-large chamber capacity. Thanks to the chamber capacity, we successfully performed non-destructive elemental imaging on a defective area without cutting the sample, and we found unexpected distributions of Fe, Ni, Mn and Cr within the defective area, and that the elements are present in the MEA as a result of possible degradation of the bipolar plate.
