HORIBA - XGT-7000
X-ray Analytical Microscope
Unique hardware features ensure the system offers versatility and flexibility for every measurement. A choice of two software controlled x-ray guide tubes with diameters ranging from a unique 10 µm through to 1.2 mm allow conditions to be optimised for a range of measurements, including both micro and macro. Similarly, with the unique Dual Vacuum Modes it is possible to switch within seconds between a high sensitivity full vacuum mode and a versatile localised vacuum mode. The latter maintains samples at atmospheric pressure whilst retaining sensitivity to all elements from sodium to uranium.
In any configuration the intelligent combination of optical cameras ensure that the precise analysis position can be quickly and simply located.

Features of XGT-7000
Highest spatial resolution The unique x-ray guide tube technology of HORIBA provides the highest spatial resolution micro-XRF analysis, with x-ray beam diameters down to 10 µm. The high intensity, ultra-narrow beams provided by the guide tubes allow fast, non-destructive analysis of microscopic features.
Transmission X-ray Mapped Imaging In combination with XRF imaging, the XGT-7000 allows transmitted X-ray images to be acquired. This can be used to perform internal structural analyses and identify regions of interest not visible to the eye. Scanning is done with a narrow perpendicular beam, resulting in clear penetrating images even for non-flat samples such as cylindrical parts.
Dual Vacuum Modes The XGT-7000 system offers the user unique Dual Vacuum Modes for sample analysis – switching between the two modes takes just a few seconds. In Full Vacuum Mode the entire sample chamber is subjected to vacuum conditions to ensure the ultimate sensitivity to light elements. In Partial Vacuum Mode the sample is maintained at atmospheric pressure whilst a vacuum is drawn around the detector and capillary optics. This mode is ideally suited for analysis of water containing samples such as biological tissue, and fragile archaeological/museum objects.
Complete range of sample sizes The accommodating sample chamber enables a wide range of samples to be analyzed, from a 10 µm spot analysis on a microscopic feature, to mapped analysis of areas as large as 10cm x 10cm.
Integrated Data Acquisition and Analysis Software Intuitive software allows easy control of instrument hardware, fast sample visualization and selection of measurement region, and full data analysis. Functions include automated peak identification, quantitative measurements, RGB composite image generation, line profile analysis.
SLICE The optional SLICE software module provides a offers a unique archiving tool capable of associating images, text and spectra within a single database. Database searching with SLICE allows unknown materials to be identified, quickly and simply.
