Application Spectroscopy
Both hardware and software incorporate the latest technologies to create the next generation of EPMA. New functions that offer simple and easy-to-understand operation have been added to the superb basic EPMA performance that Shimadzu has fostered over many years high sensitivity, high accuracy, and high resolution to allow the EPMA's capabilities to be exploited to the fullest. While easy enough for even novices to use, it also supports sophisticated analysis by experienced users.
Advanced Multi-Element MicroanalysisWith four wavelength-dispersive spectrometers, the EPMA-1720 enables simultaneous detection and mapping of multiple elements from boron to uranium. This capability delivers rapid and comprehensive data, supporting complex research and quality control applications. The WDS technology provides exceptional elemental sensitivity and sub-micron spatial resolution for the most demanding analytical tasks.
High-Vacuum Stability and Flexible Sample HandlingThe system features a high-performance vacuum chamber designed for stable, contamination-free analysis. A robust, integrated vacuum system ensures consistent conditions even during prolonged or automated measurement runs. The spacious sample chamber accommodates large specimens (up to 150 mm diameter), while the 5-axis motorized stage simplifies navigation and orientation for precise targeting of regions of interest.
User-Friendly Automation and Versatile OperationWith advanced analytical software, users can perform both qualitative and quantitative elemental analyses efficiently. Automated stage movement, digital display, and a comprehensive temperature control range (room temperature to 1000C) enable seamless adaptation to complex workflows. The system's automatic operation and robust design make it suitable for a range of research laboratories and industrial settings.
