GOLDSCOPE SD 515

Product Description

GOLDSCOPE SD 515

• An ergonomically engineered user-friendly device in a compact size with longer service life
• It is light in weight and requires less space for installation.
• The door of the measurement chamber does not open upwards, but towards the front which allows placing notebook for operation onto the instrument thus saves even more space.
• The X-ray source and detector assembly is located in the instrument's lower chamber for quick and easy sample positioning. It is also fitted with the integrated video-microscope with zoom and cross-hairs that simplifies sample placement and also allows a precise measuring spot adjustment.
• The system runs on powerful and user-friendly WinFTM software which ensure smooth operations and evaluation of measurements as well as the clear presentation of measurement data.

Features:

• Compact design, efficient, lightweight instrument (appr. 25 kg, 55 lb) and small footprint
• Designed particularly for analysis of gold alloy at reasonable prices
• Equipped with a SI-PIN detector that is also suitable for more complex analyses with other elements
• The machine has been designed for quick and sampling position
