1 Description of instrument
1.1 Description
Designation: SPECTROCUBE C
Model: XEP06C
Type: 76004856
1.2 Function
X-rays excite the atoms of the sample, causing them to emit radiation. This
radiation is measured by a semiconductor detector.
To achieve a higher sensitivity, the exciting radiation can be optimized by using
filters.
The instrument comes with a preset method of analysis installed. Data are already
stored in the instrument's memory. The measured values are compared with these
data. After the measurement is complete, the results of a sample for an unknown
composition are displayed on the screen.
The sample material can be solid, liquid or a powder.

1.3 Overview
The sample to be measured is placed onto the measurement position (single
sample holder) and it is subsequently measured.
The following options are available:
Single sample rotation
Sample tray
Sample tray with sample rotation
Additional option:
Gas flushing (helium or nitrogen)
Measurements can be taken with variable measurement conditions.
Information
Set up the instrument so that the power isolators (switches and power cable) can
be easily reached.
