RAM-30μ X-ray analytical microprobe-microscope by Scientific Instruments

The spectrometer is designed to determine the contents of elements in the range from Na to U in substances in solid, powdery, dissolved states, as well as deposited on the surface or deposited on filters. The principle of operation of the X-ray spectrometer is based on irradiation of the sample with primary radiation from an X-ray tube, measurement of the intensity of secondary fluorescent radiation from the sample at wavelengths corresponding to the elements to be determined, and subsequent calculation of the mass fraction of these elements according to a pre-constructed calibration characteristic, which is the dependence of the content of the element to be determined on the measured intensity. Secondary fluorescent radiation is decomposed into a spectrum using a crystal analyzer. Due to this, the X-ray fluorescence spectrometer has a high resolution, and therefore the ability to accurately analyze complex multicomponent substances.

NT-MDT Spectrum Instruments is an INTEGRA Nano IR–scattering scanning near‑field optical microscope (s-NSOM) designed for the infrared spectral range. The AFM probe is located in the focus of an optical system that directs the IR laser radiation to the sample and collects the optical response. The collected radiation is sent to the Michelson interferometer for optical analysis. The far-field component of the collected signal is suppressed by synchronous detection. The INTEGRA Nano IR system allows detecting the amplitude and phase of the near-field signal. The spatial resolution of the resulting reflection and absorption contrasts is approximately 10 nm and is determined only by the size of the tip of the probe.

Specialized wavelength-dispersive XRF analyzer based on the Cochois scheme is designed for high-precision determination of chemical elements U, Th, Mo, Au, W, Tl, As, Pb as well as other elements in ores, rocks and when developing the technogenic fields. Possibility to determine groups of elements without readjustment of crystal-analyzer. Exceptionally high resolution of the Koshua X-ray optical scheme with crystal-analyzer quartz 1011. Developed mathematical support. Principle of analyzer operation is based on the excitation of the fluorescent radiation of sample atoms being under examination by radiation coming from an X-ray tube. Spectrum decomposition of the fluorescence radiation is performed according to Cauchois method. The fluorescence radiation focused by analyzing crystal and standard line are marked on Rowland focal circle. Then, they are recorded by X-ray radiation detector in turn. The intensity of the fluorescent irradiation with a particular wavelength is directly proportional to the chemical element concentration in the material under examination.

The X-ray fluorescence spectrometer SPECTROSCAN MAX-GF1(2)E-C combines two methods of detecting an analytical signal: diffraction on a crystal (wave dispersion - WDX) and energy dispersion (EDX) method, as well as sample delivery adapted for the analysis of large-size images. The collimation of the primary radiation of the X-ray tube and the special design of the sample presentation make it possible to analyze the sample over an area of 1 cm2 in 1 mm increments, and thus investigate the distribution of elements over an area. The spectrometer is designed to determine the contents of elements in the range from Ca to U in substances in solid, powdery, dissolved states, as well as deposited on the surface or deposited on filters. With the help of fixed energy dispersion channels, any one or two additional elements in the range from magnesium (Mg) to calcium (Ca) can be determined. With the help of this modification of the spectrometer, forensic and customs examinations, judicial and forensic medical examinations, as well as art-historical examinations are carried out.

The CR-1B reactor is an automated chemical reactor with thermostat, stirrer and reagent management system. To control the reactor, specialized software is used (supplied with the reactor). This reactor may be of most interest for laboratory research for routine synthesis of nano/microparticles (e.g. vaterite), as well as experimental scaling tests with a view to further transferring it to production facilities.

During operation, the steam generator of metal samples "Aspect" provides control of all devices of the atomic emission spectral analysis complex - the MAES analyzer, the Ball Lightning generator, the inclusion of external devices; A spark unipolar discharge is excited between a tungsten counterelectrode and the surface of the test samples - ingots of precious metals or other metal samples; The intensity of erosion of the sample surface is regulated by changing the repetition frequency and power of spark pulses generated by a computer-controlled semiconductor spark generator; The stability and quality of the frisking is monitored using a built-in spectrometer via optical fiber; An adjustable flow of high-purity argon passes through the spark discharge zone in a sealed discharge chamber, picks up sample particles obtained by spark erosion of the surface and transfers them in the form of an aerosol to the area of the mixer/sprayer of the inductively coupled plasma torch of the optical emission spectrometer.; The flow of high-purity argon is supplied, controlled and regulated by a microprocessor-controlled mass flow controller in the range from 0.5 to 3 l/min.

A machine for the preparation of graphite electrodes Crater-2. Two types of cutters can be installed simultaneously in the machine, for example, on a crater and a cone.

NT-MDT S.I. presents NTEGRA II, the second generation of the world's most popular AFM. Thanks to additional features and advanced functions, it provides an unprecedented level of modularity and flexibility, becoming a true partner of the researcher. Intelligent, fast, reliable, accurate and undoubtedly easy to use. To eliminate the influence of a noisy environment, the NTEGRA II is supplied in a standard cabinet that provides temperature control, acoustic and vibration isolation. This combination reveals the true nature of NTEGRA II as the most stable AFM in the world, providing a temperature drift of less than 0.2 nm/min.

The main advantage of a mobile spectrometer is the ability to measure the composition of alloys not only in the laboratory on specially prepared samples, but also directly in a workshop or warehouse without cutting the product or workpiece.

Vacuum spectrometers are designed for rapid analysis of alloys based on iron, copper, aluminum and other metals in factory and research laboratories, including the determination of elements having analytical lines in the field of vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) (for example, S, P and C in steels).

MAES analyzers for recording atomic emission spectra with a time resolution of 1 ms are based on highly sensitive photodiodes and a special switching board for simultaneous reading of several sections of the spectra. The assembly of the rulers is installed on the "Grand" spectrometer. A " Flow" or twin-jet arc plasmatron is used to excite the atomic emission spectra of powder samples. The ATOM software registers the selected spectral lines and provides their processing according to the specified algorithms, taking into account the number and brightness of flashes (i.e. particle size). Recording the spectra of powder samples with a large time resolution makes it possible to estimate the number and size of individual particles, identify their composition and determine the concentrations of elements in each particle, promptly assess the uniformity of the distribution of certain elements to be determined and expand the possibilities of spectral analysis without significant changes in sample preparation. Main application areas: mass analysis of powder geological samples by scintillation to determine gold, silver, platinum group metals, iridium, rhodium, etc. with detection limits up to 0.01 g/t; qualitative determination of the composition of inclusions and mineral particles.
