测量原理

Principle of X-ray Fluorescence (XRF)

The Bowman K series uses X-ray fluorescence principle to measure coating and composition. When high-energy X-rays irradiate the surface of a metal thin film, the incident photons knock out the inner layer electrons of the film or substrate material atoms to form holes. When the outer electron transitions to fill the hole, it releases characteristic X-ray fluorescence, whose energy corresponds one-to-one with the atomic number of the element. The element can be qualitatively analyzed by the energy of the fluorescence, and the thickness and composition can be quantitatively analyzed by the fluorescence intensity.

K series large stroke and multi collimator design

12" ×12" The programmable platform, combined with multiple collimators (4~24mil standard, optional 2 × 2~60mil) and variable zoom cameras (0.25~3.5 inches), can flexibly respond to samples of different sizes, shapes, and concave convex features, achieving precise positioning and high-quality measurement, especially suitable for quality control of multiple varieties and large quantities of samples.
