4 Towards new horizons The Ultimate edition of the Zetium XRF spectrometer delivers unrivalled analytical performance, speed and robustness through the seamless amalgamation of PANalytical s core and innovative technologies. 1 Outstanding accuracy across the entire periodic table Ultra-light element performance results from the combination of a 50 µm X-ray tube window, dedicated multilayer and curved crystals and high-yield collimators. Transition row and heavy elements are rapidly analysed using the combination of Hi-Per scint and duplex detectors. 3 2 In-house expertise with Virtual Analyst 4 2 The Virtual Analyst, delivered with our latest version of SuperQ analytical software, ensures that specialist-level 1 expertise is available to you 24/7, for the development of new applications. Virtual Analyst is not just another wizard, it actively calculates the ideal measurement conditions, taking into account the configuration of the spectrometer, sample and preparation information, the required analytical range, detection limits and required precision. 3 Save time and money Advanced sample handling and completely integrated solutions maximize return on investment by minimizing time spent on manual operations. For optimized process control, fully automated systems can be configured to include complementary technologies such as optical emission (OES) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) all coordinated by a LIMS system.

5 5 Combined technologies, unlimited benefits A single platform combines sequential and simultaneous analysis. SumXcore, the innovative combination of WD- and EDXRF technologies, offers a fast and powerful screening tool for XRF analysis. The entire spectrum can also be rapidly collected during routine analyis facilitating rapid detection of contaminants during process control. The ED core features a small spot mapping SDD detector, adding a compositional mapping functionality for fast and accurate analysis of inclusions Accurate results even without standards In addition to a comprehensive set of standards and dedicated software support, the Omnian standardless analysis package can be used for the analysis of unknown compositions. Moreover it can be used to perform fast screening analysis without the need for dedicated reference materials. 6 From major concentrations to trace elements in different industries Always meet your analytical requirements with turn-key solutions. Application templates and software packages are available for the analysis of different materials, whether you need accurate and precise analysis of traces with the Pro-Trace software, or the analysis of production samples in the metals industry with NiFeCo and Cu-base. 7 Superior characterization of multilayered materials The Virtual Analyst expert software will guide you to the best choice of measurement and analysis settings using the Stratos software package for your multilayer measurements. By automating the complexity of the analysis steps, you are enabled to meet your specifications for single and multilayer coatings on metallic substrates. Typical applications of the Stratos software are: the analysis of single layer and multilayer surfaces and coatings, such as deposited metals, processed semiconductor wafers and others.

6 Small spot analysis with mapping: clues to the early solar system Compositional mapping of a chondritic sample Carbonaceous chondrites are a subcategory of chondrites, and are among the rarest types of meteorites. Their geochemical signature is very characteristic. In fact, their non-volatile chemical composition is the most primitive of any rock in the solar system, very similar to the composition of the Sun (and therefore the overall solar system). Because they are the oldest bodies of the solar system, carbonaceous chondrites are used as geochemical reference in dating studies. total measurement time of 10 hours. Images showing the distribution and relative concentration of 15 elements with the analysed area clearly show the compositional differences between the host sample matrix and the Ca-Al rich inclusions. In this study the distribution of a variety of elements was mapped in a chondritic meteorite sample (type CV3), with calcium-aluminium rich inclusions (CAIs). The analysis was carried out with the Zetium small spot mapping function, which combines the ED core with the innovative sample translation mechanics of the sample introduction turret. The meteorite sample was mounted in a special sample holder, designed to accommodate a variety of irregularshaped samples. A 5 mm x 7.5 mm area of the sample surface was mapped, using a total of 600 spots with a spot size of 500 microns. Each spot was measured for 60 seconds, giving a ED core and small spot analysis with mapping Fast, multi-element data acquisition Individual inclusion analysis and element distribution mapping, revealing compositional trends and heterogeneities Standardless Omnian quantification and/or materialspecific calibrations Small spot elemental analysis and mapping by XRF Adding practical small spot mapping functionality to a full-function WDXRF, without compromising its performance, adds new and realistic analytical possibilities for a variety of laboratories. Moreover, compared to other elemental mapping techniques, like scanning electron microscopy or electron microprobe analysis that involve quite complex sample pretreatments, XRF requires little or no sample preparation. Now available to users of varying experience, element mapping becomes a straightforward task, indispensable in scientific research and process troubleshooting. ZETIUM ULTIMATE EDITION
