Bruker Tornado XRF
The Bruker Tornado is an X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) system that uses a beam of-rays to identify - and quantify - the elements in a sample from C to U. The system has two detectors and two sources:
- A Rh microfocused source with a spot size as small as 20 mm, and
- A collimated W source with a spot size in the mm range.
The system also has a variety of filters to minimize interferences from overlapping x-ray peaks. The system can operate in vacuum or in air; accepts liquids, powders, or bulk solids; and has a motorized stage that gives it the ability to create large area elemental maps.
