Product news

The ever-popular SGX “Slide-rule” has joined the digital age and is now available as an “App” for iPhone and Android.

The app includes elemental properties, x-ray transition energies and reverse energy lookup.

It permits a user to specify a transition energy value in keV and automatically determines and displays the elements and 'lines' closest to this value. It also allows the user to select an element and displays it’s x-ray transition energies.

Values are based on experimental values. Where experimental values are not available the database uses theoretically derived values.

The app also includes a database with physical properties for each element.

The X-ray Transition Energies App can be downloaded from Google play and iTunes.

X-Ray diffractometers (XRD) are superior instruments in elucidating the dimensional atomic structure of crystalline materials, including powders, thin films and single crystals. For large unit cells or ordered macromolecules, consider small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). X-ray spectroscopic techniques include X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), both providing simple and accurate methods for determining the elemental composition of a material. Energy dispersive (EDXRF) and wavelength dispersive (WDXRF) XRF spectrometers are available, as well as handheld/portable devices. High-resolution, 3D microstructure characterization of materials can be achieved with X-ray microscopes combining sub-micron resolution imaging with 3D computed tomography.
