Learn about the use of handheld spectrometers and their applications

Hand-held spectrometer is a spectral analysis instrument based on XRF (X Ray Fluorescence, X-ray fluorescence) spectral analysis technology. It is mainly composed of X-ray tube, detector, CPU and memory. Accuracy and other characteristics make it have important applications in the fields of alloys, ores, environment, consumer goods and other fields.

1. Introduction:JAATextile Testing Instruments, Testing Equipment Manufacturer
Handheld spectrometer requires high resolution and signal-to-noise ratio, better intensity accuracy and wavelength accuracy, as well as anti-interference and excellent instrument stability. On the software of the instrument , it is required to be able to perform complex mathematical calculations such as derivatives and deconvolutions, and to be able to calculate the similarity between spectra, pattern recognition analysis, support multivariate correction analysis, and user-built spectral libraries and search.

2. Principle:JAATextile Testing Instruments, Testing Equipment Manufacturer
A handheld spectrometer is a spectral analysis instrument based on XRF spectral analysis technology. When high-energy X-rays with energy higher than the binding energy of electrons in the inner layers of atoms collide with atoms, an inner layer electron is expelled and a hole appears, making the entire atom The system is in an unstable state. When the electrons in the outer layer jump to the hole, a photoelectron is generated, and the photon that is knocked out may be absorbed again to drive out another secondary photoelectron in the outer layer, and the Auger effect occurs. Called the secondary photoelectric effect or non-radiative effect. The ejected secondary photoelectrons are called Auger electrons. When the electrons in the outer layer jump into the hole in the inner layer, the energy released is not absorbed by the atom, but released in the form of photons, and X-ray fluorescence is generated, and its energy is equal to the energy difference between the two energy levels. Therefore, the energy or wavelength of ray fluorescence is characteristic and has a one-to-one correspondence with the elements. According to Moseley's law, as long as the wavelength of fluorescent X-rays is measured, the type of element can be known. This is the basis of qualitative analysis of fluorescent X-rays. In addition, the intensity of fluorescent X-rays has a certain relationship with the content of the corresponding elements. Based on this, quantitative analysis of elements can be performed. The X-ray detector detects the X-ray characteristics of the sample elementsThe optical signal of the spectral line is converted into an easy-to-measure electrical signal to obtain the characteristic information of the element to be measured.

Handheld spectrometers can be roughly divided according to their applications: alloy analyzers, ore analyzers, soil/environment analyzers, RoHS analyzers, etc. Generally, the element range that can be analyzed by an analyzer is: Mg~U. JAATextile Testing Instruments, Testing Equipment Manufacturer

5. Operation:JAATextile Testing Instruments, Testing Equipment Manufacturer
JAATextile Testing Instruments, Testing Equipment Manufacturer

1. Avoid placing the handheld spectrometer in the sun for a long time during operation, because it is easy to damage the LCD display, and the ambient humidity is between 0-95%. Do not place it in an environment with liquids or corrosive solvents, as this will cause great damage. JAATextile Testing Instruments, Testing Equipment Manufacturer
2. When replacing the detection window, be sure to clean it in a dust-free environment to prevent dust intrusion. Also cover the detector window to prevent dust from entering, and replace it quickly. JAATextile Testing Instruments, Testing Equipment Manufacturer
3. If there is sticky glue in the handheld spectrometer that needs to be cleaned, try to use gauze dipped in a small amount of alcohol and wipe it gently around the small holes. Remember, never insert any object into the detector, as this may damage the detector and cause significant losses. JAATextile Testing Instruments, Testing Equipment Manufacturer
4. If there is dirt or dust on the surface of the handheld spectrometer, blow it away with compressed air first, and then clean it thoroughly with a small piece of wet gauze. Do not use rough cloth to avoid damage. JAATextile Testing Instruments, Testing Equipment Manufacturer
5. The touch screen of the handheld spectrometer is composed of sensitive electronic devices. It should be cleaned regularly with a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth. Do not use detergent or liquid cleaning products for cleaning, because the screen may be scratched. JAATextile Testing Instruments, Testing Equipment Manufacturer

6. Maintenance:JAATextile Testing Instruments, Testing Equipment Manufacturer
The daily maintenance and maintenance of the instrument is a very important thing, because the daily maintenance and maintenance are related to the life of the instrument. If it is properly maintained, the handheld spectrum analyzer can not only increase its service life, ensure the quality of work, but also make the work People become more efficient at work.
