What we offer
If understanding the interface of your coating process is critical, synchrotron X-ray fluorescence microscopy (XFM) can help with world-class service and complete confidentiality.
XFM can image the oxidation state distribution (eg corrosion at a surfaceor interface)
XFM can show how and where the chemical elements in a coatingare ending up - with straightforward sample preparation
XFM can find the "needle in a haystack" - a concentrated speck of element that could be a contaminant or an alloying element that should be evenly distributed, rapidly and efficiently
