Principle of Fluorescent X-ray Generation

When a sample is irradiated with X-rays from an X-ray tube, the atoms in the sample generate unique X-rays that are emitted from the sample. Such X-rays are known as "fluorescent X-rays" and they have a unique wavelength and energy that is characteristic of each element that generates them. Consequently, qualitative analysis can be performed by investigating the wavelengths of the X-rays. As the fluorescent X-ray intensity is a function of the concentration, quantitative analysis is also possible by measuring the amount of X-rays at the wavelength specific to each element.

Features

1. EDX-7200 for High Speed, High Sensitivity and High Accuracy

The EDX-7200 is equipped with a high-resolution SDD detector to achieve a higher count rate and detection efficiency.

2. High Resolution

EDX-7200 offers superior energy resolution compared to previous models by incorporating a state-of-the-art SDD detector. This reduces the effects of overlapping peaks of different elements, enhancing the reliability of the analysis results.

3. Functional Design

The EDX-7200 can accommodate samples up to a maximum size of W300 x D275 x approx. H100 mm.
