EDX 8000L
XRF spectrometer for archaeological research — non-destructive composition analysis and support for dating and provenance of ceramics, bronzes and precious-metal objects, with a large vacuum chamber.
- Simultaneous body and glaze composition of ancient ceramics (Na2O, MgO, Al2O3, CaO, Fe2O3, K2O and more)
- Supports dating and provenance via comparison with a ceramics database
- Analysis of bronzes (Cu, Sn, Pb, Zn) and precious metals (Au, Pt, Ag, Pd and more)
- Very large vacuum chamber for objects of varying size and shape
- FAST-SDD detector, triple safety protection and a built-in HD camera
The EDX 8000L is an XRF spectrometer for studying heritage objects. Calibrated against standard ancient-ceramic reference samples, it simultaneously determines the composition of body and glaze (including Na2O, MgO, Al2O3, CaO, Fe2O3, K2O, MnO, SiO2, TiO2 and trace elements). Comparing the results with a ceramics database supports dating and provenance, while the non-destructive measurement protects valuable artifacts.
Applications
- Ancient ceramics and porcelain
- Ancient bronze objects
- Ancient jewelry and precious metals
- Coating thickness measurement
What to ask about
The instrument also measures the composition of bronzes (Cu, Sn, Pb, Zn) and precious metals (Au, Pt, Ag, Pd and more), serving as a versatile conservation-research tool. Its very large vacuum chamber accommodates objects of different sizes and shapes. Contact us to discuss your laboratory’s or museum’s requirements.
