Bruker AXS - ARTAX
Manufactured by Bruker AXS
Ideal for Valuable Objects: On Site non-destructive Chemical Analysis
ARTAX is the first commercially available portable µ-XRF spectrometer designed to meet the requirements for a spectroscopic analysis of unique and valuable objects on site, i.e. in archeometry and art history.
The system performs a simultaneous multi element analysis in the element range from Na(11) to U(92) and attains a spatial resolution of down to 70 µm.
The measurement procedure is non-destructive and non-contact, there is no damage whatsoever to the objects under investigation. ARTAX is set up and operational within 30 minutes. A normal mains power supply is the only requirement for operating ARTAX.
Depending on the application and available budget, there is a choice of several differently configured spectrometer versions, offering various features and levels of user comfort.

Features of ARTAX
- Portable instrument design Direct, on the spot examination of valuable or stationary objects
- Compact, open system Enables the examination of large and uneven objects. No sample preparation required
- Polycapillary lens for beam focusing Highest spatial resolution possible. Extremely high fluorescence intensity reduces measurement time
- XFlash® silicon drift detector (SDD) Liquid nitrogen as cooling agent not required. High count rate results in short measurement times
- Helium purging Direct measurement of light elements from Na (11) to Ar (18). Avoids vacuum, which might damage fragile samples
- XYZ stage Reproducible positioning of the measuring head
