            Calibration Curve Method                                                                                                  Large Sample Chamber with Small Footprint

            A standard sample is measured and the relationship with the fluorescent X-ray intensity                                   Installed width is 20% smaller than the previous instrument (EDX-720) due to its compact body size.
            plotted as a calibration curve, which is used for the quantitation of unknown samples.                                    The EDX-8100 can accommodate samples up to a maximum size of W300 x D275 x approx. H100 mm.
            Although this method requires selection of a standard sample close to the unknown sample
            and creation of a calibration curve for each element, it achieves a high level of analysis
            accuracy.
            This method supports all types of corrections for coexistent elements,                                                                             EDX-720                            275mm            300mm
            including absorption/excitation correction and correction for
            overlapping elements.

            Film FP Method
            The instrument also offers the thin-film FP method function. The film
            FP method permits the film thickness measurement of multilayer films,                                                                                                        460mm

            Matching Function
            The matching function compares analysis data for a sample with an
            existing data library and displays the results in descending degree of
            confidence.
            The library contains content data and intensity data and the user can
            register each type. The content data values can be entered manually.
