UP-213 deep UV YAG - New Wave Research - #1

The UP213 combines the ease-of-use and low cost of ownership of a solid-state laser with the high coupling efficiency of the deep UV wavelength for solid sampling of any ma­terial. The class-leading software provides complete control of all laser parameters, multi-experiment programming, sample view­ing, stage positioning, gas routing functions and two-way triggering of the ICP-MS for a fully automated ablation process.

The UP213 utilises the state-of-the-art Tem­pest 213nm laser, specifically manufactured by New Wave Research to have all the char­acteristics necessary for laser ablation. The laser has been engineered so that the beam from the fundamental (1064nm) to the final (213nm) output is completely flat-topped for the flattest craters at the sample surface.

Higher absorption rate at 213nm improves ablation of all materials, including fragile and easily fractured minerals. Unique "true" aperture imaging capability of a truly flat laser beam for the sharpest | crater edges at all spot sizes. Tempest 213nm engineered by New Wave Re­search specifically for the UP213 to have the flat­test beam profile. Makes analysis of thin films simple and accurate.

Precision depth profiling and spot sizes down to 4um make this an excellent tool for fluid inclusion analysis.
