The document introduces the Epsilon 5 three-dimensional polarized energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer launched by PANalytical. The instrument has the characteristics of simple sample preparation, fast analysis speed, and low detection limits for heavy metal elements.
The Epsilon5X combines a high‑power 600 W X‑ray tube with a maximum voltage of 100 kV, allowing direct analysis of solids, liquids and powders. Its large‑area Ge detector (30 mm², 5 mm thick) covers an energy range of 0.7‑100 keV with a resolution better than 135 eV, delivering up to 200 000 counts per second.
The instrument can analyze elements from Na (Z=11) to U (Z=92) and supports up to 15 secondary targets for optimized excitation. It is marketed for environmental monitoring, industrial quality control and compliance with standards such as EPA, RoHS, WEEE and ELV. This manual is written in Chinese.
