The M4 TORNADO is the tool of choice for sample characterization using small-spot micro X-ray fluorescence. Its measurements give information about composition and element distribution, even from below the surface. Bruker’s micro-XRF spectrometer is optimized for high-speed analyses of points, lines and 2D area scans (element mapping) of any kind of sample; be it organic, inorganic or liquid.

The primary X-ray excitation uses a polycapillary lens offering small spot sizes and high X-ray intensity. The M4 TORNADO is configurable with a variety of Bruker XFlash® silicon drift detectors (SDD), offering high throughput without compromising energy resolution.

One of the outstanding configuration options of the M4 TORNADO is the additional X-ray tube, which offers a different target material and a collimator changer for extended analytical capabilities.

Highlights:

• Excellent spatial resolution using polycapillary X-ray optics for smallest spot sizes < 20 μm for Mo-K
• Flexible excitation through use of up to 2 X-ray tubes and 5 filters
• Ultra fast spectrum acquisition with XFlash® SDD technology
• Additional speed and information through an optional 2nd detector
• TurboSpeed X-Y-Z stage for distribution analysis “on the fly”
• Sample positioning supported by simultaneous display of 2 sample images in different magnifications
• Vacuum sample chamber for optimized light element performance
• EasyLoad function for fast and convenient sample exchange
• Reliable quantification of bulk material using a standardless FP model
