Whether the task is reconnaissance survey, site mapping for excavation, conservation, or establishing provenance, quantitative chemical data has grown to he the method most often sought out to accomplish these project goals. The ability iu obtain quantitative elemental data in the field, in real time, is invaluable CO any archaeologist or conservator. Handheld Thermo Scientific NITON XL3 Series x-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzers specification arc the perfect rools for the job. The Thermo Scientific NITON Solution As the longtime industry leader in handheld XRF analysis, we arc uniquely capable of providing handheld nondestructive tcsiirig solutions for art and artifacts in the field, in the lab, or on the museum wall. XL3 Series analyzers combine the most powetful - 50 kV - miniaturized x-ray tubes ever used in handheld XRF instruments with multiple primary filters tor optimal sample excitation. These essential tools have beiu engineered to take routine laboratory measurements into the field and change the fundamental way in which this field does research. With the ability to identify and quantify virtually any tlemcin tnini ruaj'.ucMinn llirouisli lur portable archaeometric analysis. From the Field to the Museum Wall NITON XL3 Series analyicrs can be used in the field as reconnaissance survey tools. By performing in-silu soil analysis at a site of suspected prehistoric or historic human activity, the user can identify areas such as subsurface architectural features, hearth areas and fire | | | | | | Archaeometric Studies NITON XL3 Benefits At-a-GIa | | | | | | | | | | ■ Optional integrated color Ccd imaging sensor and sample Imaging system to visually identity, locate, specify, and save the image of the analysis area together with XRF results (see Figure 1) ■ Lowest limits of detection - better trace element identification and quantification far better materials characterization, sourcing, and comparative studies - Industrial helium purge for light elements (Mg, Al, Si, P, and 5) in alloys, lithic samples, and soils (or the best | | | | | | | | | | • Automatic parameter optimization - voltage and cunei adjust automatically based on sample and range of elements of interest for most accurate, repeatable results every time ■ Integrated Bluetooth™ and USB communications for direct data file transfer to user's PC or networked storage device, or for connection to a Gps receiver fo real-time archaeological site mapping | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
