THE ANALYTE G2 FOR THE BEST OF BOTH
The evolution of laser ablation solid sampling driven by shorter wavelengths and pulse lengths. The 193 nm excimer is absorbed more readily in most materials than even 213 nm YAG, as seen below in the case of quartz.
Shorter wavelengths produce smaller particles on average that are transported to the torch and ionized more efficiently, resulting in less fractionation effects and better data.
Heat, another source of fractionation, is transferred to the sample via direct conduction or the plasma shield that forms on the surface under certain conditions. Shorter pulse lengths yield less heat.
The G2 utilizes the best of both, the shortest pulse length 193 nm excimer laser for the best accuracy and precision, without the expense and cost of ownership of a UV femtosecond laser.
product1 UV Excimer LABRILLIANT IMAGING
The high magnification, zoom video microscope coupled with a custom-made large diameter, high N.A. objective lens assembly, resolves inclusions, contaminants and microfeatures down to 2 um in size. Ring, reflected and transmitted lighting with rotating polarizer and removable analyzer plus software controlled camera parameters including gain, contrast and other functions bring out the finest of sample features.
product3 UV Excimer LAMATCHED WITH PRECISION ABLATIONS
The G2 laser beam is equipped like no other with the tools to cover a broad range of applications from the more challenging such as inclusions, zircons, semi-conductor wafers, rutile rims and otoliths to the most delicate filters, powders and tissues. The G2 is a comfort to those who need a cutting-edge system that will serve their immediate and future needs and those of others. Such versatility and useable life is engineered into the G2.
MICRO AND BULK ANALYSIS
with the widest range of spot sizes as seen in this array of 2.5 µm ? spots within a 250 µm ? spot.s
FIRE-ON-THE-FLY
product4 UV Excimer LAUnique synchronized lasing enables depth profiling and surface analysis capabilities NOT POSSIBLE until now. Ablate lines and raster areas with 100% edge-to-edge coverage and uniform depth penetration. Control the dosage (shots / location).
ENGINEERED RUGGED
Literally ROCK SOLID with 200 Kg of Gabbro superstructure that dampens vibrations and maintains alignment when rolled from room to room or from one instrument to another.
COMPACT
