2D Micro-XRF with Ultimate Speed and Accuracy
The Instrument of Choice for Highly Sensitive and Non-Destructive Element Analysis
       The M4 TORNADO is the tool for sample characterization using small-spot Micro X-ray Fluorescence (Micro-XRF) analysis. Optimized for analysis speed and without compromising accuracy it measures a wide range of samples, whether small or large, even or irregularly shaped and generates a wealth of information on composition and element distribution.Equipped with a large high-speed stage it supports 2D analysis of virtually any kind of inorganic, organic and even of liquid sample.
       Providing spot sizes down to 25 μm (for Mo Kα radiation), excellent spatial resolution is warranted. The proven ESPRIT analysis software provides a flexible measurement setup and a variety of evaluation and processing tools. A large vacuum sample chamber supports light element detection.
       The instrument can be customized to provide extended measurement ranges or even higher analysis speed: flexibility can be enhanced through installation of a second tube with a different target and a collimator. An optional second SD detector increases speed even further.

The Variety of Application Fields:
·  Analytical performance
The analytical performance of Micro-XRF instruments is defined by several parameters. Some of the most important aspects of this analytical technique are explained considering the example of the M4 TORNADO. 
·  Distribution analysis of electronic components
Electrical and electronic equipment can contain toxic elements like Cr, Br, Cd, Hg or Pb. Limits are regulated by directives such as RoHS and WEEE. Compliance testing as well as monitoring the product quality can be easily done with the M4 TORNADO.
·  Analysis of solar cells
The efficiency of solar cells depends on their chemical composition and physical structure. In most cases the absorber of thin film cells is produced from CIGS-layers, which are Cu-In-Ga-Se or Cu-In-Ga-S compounds. Micro-XRF is ideal for R&D and quality control to check composition, thickness and homogeneity of these layers. 
·  Life science application – analyzing Daphnia
Daphnia are planktonic crustaceans. Because of their small size of 0.2 to 5 mm and their jumpy swimming style, they are also known as “water fleas”. The M4 TORNADO is well suited for heavy element analysis on biological samples like these. 
·  Particle analysis
It is often important to analyze small particles with regard to their composition to determine their origin. Here, two different examples are described: wear debris from an engine and inclusions in plastics.
·  Analyzing geological samples
Geological samples are inhomogeneous. The distribution analysis of their different constituents is important for understanding geological processes, exploration of mineral resources, and other applications.
·  Coating analysis
Low-alloy steel is highly sensitive to corrosion. This is the reason why parts and structures made of this steel are often protected by a Zn or a ZnAl coating. Here we look at analysis results of differently treated steel samples to better understand corrosion processes.
·  Examining corrosion processes of low-alloy steel
Low-alloy steel is highly sensitive to corrosion. This is the reason why parts and structures made of this steel are often protected by a Zn or a ZnAl coating. Here we look at analysis results of differently treated steel samples to better understand corrosion processes.
·  Archaeometry – examination of a Roman sword
Archaeometric objects are unique and very fragile, therefore a non-destructive analysis, like Micro-XRF, is the method of choice in learning more about such an object without damaging it.
