The maXXi 5/PIN offers a universal material and coating thickness analyser at a reasonable price/performance ratio. The use of a high resolution Silicon semiconductor detector makes the maXXi 5/PIN an ideal tool for users who want to have best limits of detection and the highest precision. The better detector resolution together with a higher signal-to-noise ratio allows the analysis of thinner, complex coatings, like for instance on solar panels. The large, slotted sample chamber is suitable for a large range of parts, from printed circuit boards to small precision parts like contacts. A variety of sample stages allows the adaptation of the maXXi 5/PIN to customers needs and budgets. A very comprehensive library of software tools allows the analysis of bulk as well as liquid samples (from Z = 20/Ca). Multiple layer alloy coatings on complex base materials can be analysed as well. This makes the maXXi 5/PIN the ideal universal tool for quality control, incoming inspection and the laboratory.
