Oxford Instruments’ What is X-ray

proven XRF expertise worldwide Fluorescence?
• 35 years XRF experience Fluorescence is a process
• 25 years in coating in which an atom or a
measurement molecule absorbs a
• 15 years in XRF coating photon of certain
thickness measurement energy and releases
• World-wide sales and another photon of
support network lower energy.
• Extensive portfolio of
analytical instrumentation
X-ray
tube

How does the CMI900

use fluorescence? Detector

• The X-ray tube provides bombardment of excitation

photons to the sample
• The detector measures the secondary, or fluoresced X-rays
• The X-ray’s intensity determines the thickness and/or
composition

CMI900 – High performance
XRF spectrometer
Accuracy
• Empirical calibrations – highest accuracy
• FP Model – easy calibrations
• Certified standards – ensures traceability
• A2LA approved lab – guaranteed integrity
• Re-certification of standards – service
commitment
Precision
• Laser focus – repeatable sample
presentation
• High count rate – good precision
Long-term Stability
• Thermal compensation – measures the
system temperature and corrects for
changes that could cause drift
• Spec-Cal – single click of the mouse will
check the system performance and self-
correct, if necessary
