Z Lab & Field Studies LIBS Analyzer Introduction
The Z-500 makes a perfect teaching, lab and field research tool.
Materials Science — Chemistry — Geological and Ocean Sciences – Physics – Archeology
It’s foremost a high resolution, elemental spectrometer based on LIBS technology. Included is our intuitive DATA method generating and spectral analysis package, allowing for peak finding for elements, spectral overlays and a host of other analysis tools. The Z handheld LIBZ is perfect for the lab, the classroom and the field.
Z Lab & Field Studies LIBS Analyzer Details
Overview
Features
Eye-safe Laser:
The Z uses an eye-safe laser. It’s Class 1M rated and thus completely safe for student use or other operators in any environment.
High resolution On-board Spectrometer:
The Z uses a proprietary spectrometer design (patent pending) to achieve up to 4X better resolution than commercially available spectrometers. Shown at right are the main Mg lines easily resolved at 179.6 nm and 280.3 nm, respectively. The spectrometer resolution is < 0.1 nm (FWHM).
Featuring DATA: Calibration and Method Software
The Z is more than just a handheld spectrometer. It also offers full calibration and method development software. Run it on a PC, a laptop or a tablet. Locate elemental lines after testing samples, calculates intensities and intensity ratios, performs spectral overlays, baseline subtractions and smoothing.
Also generate calibration methods using reference samples with known assays. The Z offers on-board or on the Tablet/PC capability for polynomial calibration fits.
