XDV-µ
The XDV-μ series is designed for precise coating thickness measurement and material analysis on very delicate structures. All devices are equipped with polycapillary optics that focus the X-ray beam, making measuring spots (fwhm) with diameters between 10 and 60 μm possible. The high intensity of the focused radiation results in a short measuring duration. Besides the universally applicable XDV-μ, specialized devices are also available for the electronics and semiconductor industries. For example, the XDV-μ LD is optimized for measuring on printed circuit boards, while the XDV-μ Wafer is intended for use in clean rooms.
