What can X-rays do or you?
X-rays have been used to analyze and study materials
since their discovery in 1895. Most people are amiliar
with applications o X-rays in imaging and medicine,
but X-rays can also be used or chemical analysis.
In act, X-ray spectrometry is a proven, rapidly-growing
technique or qualitative and quantitative elemental
analysis o many types o materials. The ability o X-rays
to penetrate matter enables non-destructive, non-contact
analysis o solid and liquid samples with minimal sample
preparation, high repeatability, and little operator training.
X-rays are also used to study crystallographic structure o
materials. The discovery o X-ray di raction (Bragg’s Law)
enabled physicists, chemists, material scientists and
metallurgists to study structure-property relationships
leading to a multitude o new discoveries in materials
science and technology.

Indeed, Thermo Fisher Scienti c X-ray fuorescence

and X-ray di raction instruments are used in every
eld and industry, including mining and metals,
construction, pharmaceuticals, consumer and ood
sa ety, environmental compliance, high-tech electronics,
materials research, orensics, geology, archaeology and
even art preservation.

Have you thought about using X-rays to solve your

materials analysis problems?

Let the specialists at Thermo Fisher Scienti c show you

the way orward with the largest selection o innovative
and reliable Thermo Scienti c X-ray spectrometers or
any budget and application. We can help you choose
between the versatility o portable and benchtop EDXRF,
the precision and speed o WDXRF and the unique
structural insight o XRD.
