Chemical and physicochemical analysis of real objects
X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF)
Type of analysis:
Sample type:
Largest possible dimensions of the samples: diameter 30 cm, height 15 cm. Diameter of the area being tested: 1, 3, 5 or 10 mm. The tested area should be on a convex or flat surface.
There are no limitations of the size of the sample when the portative device is used.
