Materials Characterization

This class describes equipment that provides generic techniques to characterize samples, materials or specimens. The defining characteristic is that these items of equipment could equally be applied to a portion of the sample or specimen as to the whole.

ZOE Fluorescent Cell Imager

Inventory Classification
  • Materials Characterization
  • Optical Microscopy
  • Fluorescence

The ZOE Fluorescent Cell Imager eliminates the complexities of cell imaging associated with traditional microscopes. This fluorescence imaging system combines the ease of use of a personal tablet with the power of an inverted microscope.

An Android-based platform, the ZOE Cell Imager uses an intuitive touch-screen interface to control the brightfield, three fluorescence channels, and the integrated digital camera.

ZSX PRIMUS WD-XRF SPECTROMETER

Inventory Classification
  • Materials Characterization
  • Spectroscopy
  • Fluorescence

ZSX Primus X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometer Rigaku’s ZSX Primus is an X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) Spectrometer capable of elemental and chemical analysis, particularly in the investigation of metals, glass, ceramics and building materials, and for research in geochemistry, forensic science and archaeology. The ZSX Primus is capable of analyzing elements within the range of Boron through Uranium. The system is capable of analyzing objects less than 50mm in diameter with a spot size of 0.5mm, 1mm, 10mm, 20mm, 30mm, and 40mm. The ZSX is also capable of performing microelemental mapping.
