    摘要: A method for measurement of the thickness of thin layers or determination of an element concentration of a measurement object. A primary beam is directed from an X-ray radiation source onto the measurement object. A secondary radiation emitted by the measurement object is detected by a detector and is relayed to an evaluation device. The primary beam is moved within a grid surface which is divided into grid partial surfaces as well as subdivided into at least one line and at least one column. For each grid partial surface a primary beam is directed onto the grid surface. A measuring spot of the primary beam fills at least the grid point. A lateral dimension of the measurement surface is detected and compared to the size of the measuring spot of the primary beam appearing on the measurement object, for size determination of the measurement surface of the measurement object.

    摘要: A vacuum chuck for clamping workpieces, in particular wafers, and a measuring device and a method for checking workpieces by way of X-ray fluorescent radiation. The vacuum chuck has a clamping plate having a support surface, having at least one suction connection arranged on a base body for connecting to a negative-pressure device and for clamping the workpiece on the clamping plate by negative pressure received by the base body and having several suction grooves arranged in the clamping plate and are open towards the support surface. The support surface has concentric suction grooves having a suction opening to which a negative-pressure line is connected or which is connected to a work channel. Each suction groove having a separate negative pressure, which is separate to the adjacent suction groove, is selectively controlled by a control valve by a control for supplying the respective negative pressure in the respective suction groove.

    摘要: A handheld instrument and a mobile device for x-ray fluorescence analysis has a housing and a handle, having an x-ray fluorescence measurement device by which a primary beam is directed onto a measurement surface of a measurement object through an outlet window, a detector which detects the secondary radiation emitted by the measurement surface, and a data processing device which controls a display. The outlet window on a front-side end of a first housing section and a positioning element is on the first housing section. A support element is on a further housing section, at a distance to the outlet window. The handheld instrument is aligned with respect to the measurement surface after the positioning on the measurement surface by the positioning element. The support element is positioned autonomously with respect to the measurement surface in a measurement position.
