The M1 MISTRAL is a compact tabletop µ-XRF spectrometer for the analysis of bulk materials and coatings. Designed for fast and cost-efficient operation it provides accurate information on the elemental composition of materials.
The instrument features high spatial resolution and spot sizes down to 100 µm. Arbitrarily shaped samples, like the most intricate pieces of jewelry, can be analyzed without further preparation, and even more important – nondestructively. Samples sizes of up to 100x100x100 mm³ are supported. A video microscope with cross hair-functionality facilitates exact pinpointing of the desired measurement location. The motorized Z-stage allows fast focusing. The optionally available X-Y-Z stage provides even more comfort.
The M1 MISTRAL is equipped with a high brightness micro-focus X-ray tube that ensures excellent excitation of the measurement spot resulting in a high fluorescence yield. With its powerful, yet easy-to-use, XSpect software suite, the instrument delivers accurate quantification results, no matter whether analyzing bulk materials or the most complicated multi-layer structures.
