X-ray Fluorescence Аnalyzer ElvaX Art

The ElvaX Art analyzer is a new unit to join the family of portable x-ray fluorescence spectrometer systems produced by Elvatech. This portable mobile analyzer, designed specifically for art analysis, includes a CCD camera and a small beam. This makes it possible to accurately measure a small selected section of an immobile artifact, painting, or metal article. The ElvaX Art system is designed to be used with the ElvaX software package and a desktop or laptop computer, creating a powerful tool, more versatile than typical handheld or desktop systems. Compared to other techniques, the analyzer has the advantage of being non-destructive, multi-elemental, fast, and cost-effective.

Benefits

• CCD camera and a small beam allow you to accurately measure the required area of a work of art, even if the size of this area is in a couple of millimeters
• The ability to detect elements with a concentration below 10 ppm
• TFT LCD screen size is 5”, 10x magnification

The ElvaX Art system can be used to qualitatively analyze and identify elements in mineral pigments, such as Titanium, Lead, Chromium, Copper, Zinc, Iron, etc. Additionally, it will determine elements in glass, ceramic, and obsidian, as well as precious & non-precious metals assay. The analyzer also is utilized for stone tools and metal artifact identification or with numerous museum artifacts.

With non-destructive x-ray fluorescence, objects and samples remain intact and unharmed.
