Focusing graded multilayer monochromator
Maximizes intensity on the sample within the total external reflection angle for TXRF
Introduced by Rigaku Innovative Technologies in the early 1990’s, graded multilayer monochromators provide increased intensity and decreased background for Total Reflection X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry. Max-Flux® Optics use graded multilayers, assuring the same X-ray energy diffracts from every point along the surface of the Elliptical optic. Rigaku’s Osmic® Coating technology provides results in less than 0.5% d-spacing variation. Such high precision means more flux is available for your experiment.
Optical precision is also critical to good performance. Using proprietary technology, standard Max-Flux optics are made within ~10 arcsec of the ideal curve. When the best performance is required, Rigaku applies new Arc)Sec® technology to achieve optical precision of ≤4 arcsec!
