AttoMap
Micro XRF
Mineralogy for Mining & Oil and Gas
Measurements and elemental imaging to determine co-location of trace-level minerals and rare earth elements at ppm-scale is possible at microns-scale.
Quantitative Composition
Elemental composition and their relative percentages can be obtained for both point analysis and for larger regions, including specific regions of interest or the complete sample. Data is acquired and stored as a hypermap, with each pixel and its spectra, for ultimate flexibility in analysis.
