ARTAX
Ideal for valuable objects: non-destructive chemical analysis on the spot
ARTAX is the first commercially available, portable micro-XRF spectrometer designed to meet the requirements for a spectroscopic analysis of unique and valuable objects on site, i.e. in archeometry and art history.
The system performs a simultaneous multi element analysis in the element range from Na(11) to U(92) and reaches a spacial resolution of down to 70 µm.
The procedure is absolutely non-destructive and non-contact, there is no damage whatsoever to the objects under investigation. ARTAX is mounted and operational on the spot within 30 minutes. A normal mains power supply is the only requirement for operating ARTAX.
Depending on the application and available budget, there is a choice of several well configured spectrometer versions.
Modular concept for a variety of applications
The modular concept allows the customization to numerous analytical requirements. The usage of this unique µXRF spectrometer in material sciences and quality control is also possible.
Typical applications of ARTAX are:
- Archeometry
- Restoration
- Forensic Sciences
- Process related quality control
- Material sciences
