FISCHERSCOPE X-RAY - FISCHER - #9

9 COATING THICKNESS MATERIAL ANALYSIS Software WinFTM® The entire operation, the evaluation of the measurement, as well as the clear presentation of the individual measured values is done using a PC with the innovative and user-friendly Software WinFTM. All FISCHERSCOPE X-RAY spectrometers operate with this software. Sample support and stages Depending on whether simply a sample shall be placed and measured quickly or complex components shall be measured automatically, based on the application, FISCHERSCOPE X-RAY spectrometers are equipped with a simple, plane probe support, a manually operable XY-stage or a high-precision, programmable XY-stage. Positioning aids Simple and fast sample positioning saves time and money. For this reason, all units with an XY-stage feature a laser pointer as a positioning aid, which simplifies the quick localization of the measurement location. Stops, rulers and sample supports additionally facilitate the placement of specimens. Housing The respective instruments for measuring large, flat components, e.g., printed circuit boards, feature a slot on the side such that these parts can be measured with the hood closed. Calibration standards High-quality calibration standards are the basis for accurate measurements. For this reason, FISCHER operates its own calibration lab and creates its own, traceable calibration standards to the highest quality standards. As the first institution in Germany, FISCHER has been admitted and accredited as a DKD Calibration Laboratory for the measurand "mass per unit area" according to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025. This accreditation entitles FISCHER to issue Calibration Certificates in the name of the German Accreditation Service (DKD/DAkkS) for mass per unit area calibration standards that are used for calibrating X-ray fluorescence instruments for coating thickness measurements. Safety FISCHERSCOPE X-RAY X-ray fluorescence spectrometers are designed such that neither operators nor the environment are at risk. The design ensures that the X-radiation is restricted to certain areas inside the instrument. Solid materials and metal housings make sure that no harmful radiation can escape to the outside. Extensive security features ensure that any X-radiation is stopped immediately when the device is opened. All FISCHERSCOPE X-RAY instruments are developed according to the most recent standards and are tested in accordance with the German X-ray ordinance.
