ARTAX – Ideal for Valuable Objects: On Site non-destructive Chemical Analysis
- ARTAX µ-XRF spectrometer in action
ARTAX is the first commercially available portable µ-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 attains a spatial resolution of down to 70 µm.
The measurement procedure is non-destructive and non-contact, there is no damage whatsoever to the objects under investigation. ARTAX is set up and operational 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 differently configured spectrometer versions, offering various features and levels of user comfort.
