X-ray diffraction (xrd) X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (xrf)
The XRD-XRF HYDRA combines X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) measurements in one portable instrument. Its versatile tabletop or tripod mounting allows for on-site analysis of metals, pigments, minerals, and other materials.
The portable XRD-XRF HYDRA combines X-ray fluorescence and X-ray diffraction into a single instrument, allowing for the simultaneous identification of a material's chemical elements and crystal structures without physical contact. Its versatile design allows for tabletop or tripod mounting, providing the flexibility needed to analyze metals, corrosion, and inorganic pigments on objects of any scale. [EXPERTISE] Kilian Laclavetine (French, Spanish, and English): easel paintings, graphic arts, mural paintings, and inorganic pigments. François Mirambet (French and English): metal, inorganic pigments, oxides, and corrosion/protection.
Enough space for the analysis (2 meters square). Object surface most flat possible for analysis. Ionisant techniques engaging radioprotection safety rules.
