  • Aerosol sampler with a cyclone separation of particles is used for sampling fine particulate matter, consisting particles less than 2.5 μm in diameter. One such sampler is positioned outside for continuous monitoring and the other is used for occasional sampling in metal workshops.


    • X-Beam Superflux from X-Ray Optical Systems (XOS) is a compact source of X-rays used in XRF technique. Typically used source power is 50 W and collimator of 2 mm in diameter. Together with a XYZ translation system for samples it is able to irradiate chosen sample area for analysis.

    • Amptek X123 Y-ray spectrometer is a compact detection system with a semiconductive crystal, digital processor and multichanel analyzer. Radiation detected from samples is stored in spectra for subsequent analysis.
