The XM1000 monochromated X-ray source provides optimum photon flux and excellent energy resolution. In addition, low background and the absence of satellites are key advantages of the XM1000 over non-monochromated X-ray sources. Narrow core level peaks and low background simplifies identification of the surface chemistry by XPS and other X-ray spectroscopy applications.
The XM1000 offers excellent performance with high photon brightness and a line width below 0.25 eV. Ease-of-use is guaranteed by a fully software controlled digital power supply combined with a simple alignment procedure of the complete monochromator. This ensures optimum performance of the XM1000 every day.
