Who Benefits

The O Series desktop XRF is best suited to customers who have:

• Very small parts/features such as semiconductors, connectors, or PCBs
• Requirements to test many samples or locations per new lot of material
• The need to measure ultra thin coatings (<100 nm)
• Very short measurement times (1-5 seconds)
• The need to meet the requirements of IPC-4552A

Key Features

The O Series combines high performance with a small x-ray spot size. This is enabled by a poly-capillary optics system which focuses the x-rays from the tube exit window to a spot size 80μm FWHM while retaining virtually 100% of the tube flux. Instead of attenuating the x-rays that can’t fit through the small apertures, as with collimator systems, the poly-capillary optics assembly enables virtually all of the x-rays from the tube to reach the sample. The result is a greater sensitivity for testing very small components or thin coatings. Shorter test times produce even higher repeatability when comparing poly-capillary optics vs. a similar sized collimator.

Configuration

The standard configuration includes 80μm optics, a programmable X-Y sample stage, and a high resolution SDD detector to process the higher count rates. The camera has a 45x video magnification and 5x higher digital zoom. The optics system has a very close focal distance, so samples must be flat.
