Boron Analyzed in Brazing Alloy using Bruker SDD and LoMAX X-ray Optic July 2009
Low levels of Boron in Nickel Chrome brazing alloy were analyzed using a Bruker SDD equipped with LoMAX attachable EDS x-ray optic. Philippe Lasson of Synergie4 in France performed the analysis and was excited to report that Boron could be analyzed in steel using their Bruker SDD and LoMAX.

Big Improvement for EDS Minimum Detection Limits of Carbon, Nitrogen, and Oxygen June 2009
Further research by Ulrich Gernert of Technische Universitaet Berlin, Center of Electron Microscopy, revealed dramatic reduction in minimum detection limit, MDL, for the light elements carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen in Nylon-6 using SEM/EDS with LoMAX x-ray optic. LoMAX, a new attachable x-ray optic for EDS (Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy) from Parallax, increases x-ray counts up to 10X for soft x-rays under 1000eV. "The MDLs were typtically a fraction of a weight percent in most cases", said Don Kloos, VP Sale and Marketing. For futher information, contact Kloos at dkloos@parallaxray.com.

FBI Quantico Lab Tests LoMAX August 2008
LoMAX x-ray optic was installed on one of the SEM/EDS units and put through a qualification test at the FBI labs in Quantico, VA. . According to Jeffrey Leibowitz of FBI labs at Quantico, LoMAX was run through a methods qualification test for looking at light elements in materials and LoMAX reportedly increased sensitivity as expected. No further details were forthcoming from Leibowitz. For futher information about LoMAX, please contact Don Kloos, VP Sales/Marketing, at dkloos@parallaxray.com.
