The
X-ray spectrograph is "like a microscope without lenses," Buettner explains, so the image is reconstructed mathematically from the collected data, rather than physically by bending light beams using lenses.
Configured for analyzing liquids, powders, solids, and thin films, the
X-ray spectrograph features an easy-load, two-position sample holder.
The instrument, which cannot image objects but instead serves as a high-resolution
X-ray spectrograph, clearly detected iron in hot gas throughout the relatively nearby Perseus cluster of galaxies, reports Peter J.
The benchtop analyzer is similar to the original Model 2501 Portable
X-Ray Spectrograph. Both contain an adjustable goniometer that allows the user to analyze up to six elements, each preset sequentially one at a time.
The Benchtop Portaspec is similar to the original Model 2501 Portaspec Portable
X-Ray Spectrograph. Both contain an adjustable goniometer that allows the user to analyze up to six elements, each preset sequentially one at a time.
