The value of high spatial resolution becomes evident when we explore the microstructure of materials such as concrete. The structure and composition of concrete at the microscale can greatly influence its properties and durability. To thoroughly understand these aspects, a detailed, high-resolution analysis is required.
MicroXRF is a tool that can serve this purpose effectively. It offers a high spatial resolution (down to 5 µm pixel diameter, as you see in this example), making it possible to identify and map the distribution of various elements within the concrete. This can help in enhancing our understanding of concrete, potentially leading to improvements in its formulation and manufacturing processes.
Key aspects of MicroXRF from IXRF Systems include:
✔ High Spatial Resolution: It can capture minute details, even at micrometer levels.
✔ Non-Destructive: MicroXRF allows for in-depth analysis without damaging the samples.
✔ Versatility: It can be used on a wide range of concrete types.
If you’re working in concrete analysis or materials science and are interested in harnessing powerfully advanced technology, MicroXRF from IXRF Systems is the solution. Get in touch with our Technical Product Manager, Dr. Satyam Ladva by email or call (01372) 378822 to discuss your requirements.
