Philips PW1404 X-ray Fluoresence (XRF) Spectrometer

The Philips PW1404 sequential spectrometer system is the latest in the complete line of systems that has continually set the standards in XRF spectroscopy. It is an evolution of the PW1400, it has improved optics, electronics and the software that makes easy to operate and the most precise element analysis from uranium to carbon. As a result of lower backgrounds, sensitivity is improved particularly for light element analysis.
