Principle of Fluorescent X-ray Generation

Electron Paths and Principle of X-ray Generation Expressed as a Bohr Model
When a sample is irradiated with X-rays from an X-ray tube, the atoms in the sample generate unique X-rays that are emitted from the sample. Such X-rays are known as "fluorescent X-rays" and they have a unique wavelength and energy that is characteristic of each element that generates them. Consequently, qualitative analysis can be performed by investigating the wavelengths of the X-rays. As the fluorescent X-ray intensity is a function of the concentration, quantitative analysis is also possible by measuring the amount of X-rays at the wavelength specific to each element.
Features
-
The EDX-7200 is equipped with a high-resolution SDD detector to achieve a higher count rate and detection efficiency.
-
EDX-7200 offers superior energy resolution compared to previous models by incorporating a state-of-the-art SDD detector.
This reduces the effects of overlapping peaks of different elements, enhancing the reliability of the analysis results. -
The EDX-7200 can accommodate samples up to a maximum size of W300 x D275 x approx. H100 mm.

Biodegradable Plastics
In order to reduce plastic waste, the development of eco-friendly alternative materials is being promoted. As an alternative, biomass plastics and biodegradable plastics are becoming more widely available. Biodegradable Plastics are plastics that are decomposed into low-molecular compounds by microorganisms in the environment. So they break down easily in nature, which is an opposite characteristic of petroleum-based plastics.
