The ZSX Primus II with its tube above design and its powerful 4kW tube is great for measuring elements from B to U. The advanced ZSX software allows for accurate quantification of the various layers associated with PV cells as well as allowing one to ascertain the elemental composition of individual layers in any choice of units, areal loading, depth of stack, atomic percentage of each contributing element in the substrates, etc.
Supermini: The world's first high-powered benchtop wavelength dispersive XRF spectrometer.
Low levels of detection and exceptional energy resolution are the trademarks of the wavelength dispersive XRF (WDXRF) technique. Traditional high-powered "big iron" WDXRF spectrometers provide the ultimate in lower limit of detection and energy resolution, but have a high cost of ownership and somewhat specialized installation requirements.
