Hello all, Whoever stumbles on this video in the future here are a few pointers: Getting the USB Software. 1. Download the software from the Olympus website. 2. Extract the software from the zip-folder 3. Install the software. 4. When the software has been installed, right-click on the vanta software icon and click on "Open file location". 5. you are now in the "bin" folder, go one folder down to the "Vanta" folder. The folder should be located in "Program files (x86)->Evident->Vanta" 6. In the "Vanta" folder there is a folder called: "Vanta-USB-OTG-Driver" 7. In the "Vanta-USB-OTG-Driver" folder, right click on the RNDIS file and select "Install". You have now installed the USB Driver. If you have the issue: "Under controll by ui" You need to shut of the Vanta and turn it back on without logging on. You will now be able to log on from the Vanta PC Software.
For the colors in the elemental mapping, do these colors always indicate the same specific element for each test? For example, is the Zn element always depicted in yellow?
Hi Currently we are using Niton™ XL3t XRF Analyzer for XRF analyze for core samples, our the xrf niton xl3t analyzer cannot save a file, after analysis of 20 seconds, the results should be displayed in the screen and the result will be saved from the data(memory) of the xrf but unfortunately, our portable xrf failed to do so. Do you have any suggestion and any treatment we can setting ?
Could you please tell me what distance between points you used? How long did it take to scan each point? And how long did it take to measure the whole sample?
My XRF won’t allow an analysis to be triggered when it is in the stand and the cover is down. Is there something to do without putting a piece of paper over the sensor
Would this get an accurate reading if I used it on tiny 1-2mm rock grains individually? Instead of a bowl of powder like you used, I'm wondering if a 1mm rock grain is enough material for it to get a reading.
@@manager4409 Yes you can use a collimator, to block out the extra x-rays. How ever you will receive less counts, so you may have to compensate by increasing scan time.
Thanks! They even make polycapillary optic mirrors that aim the x ray to as small as 50 microns. So obviously it must get a reading from a tiny grain. I guess I don't understand why you need a large sample if the x ray is tiny (even without a collimator)
Thanks for your video, I have a few questions about the sample cup. Now I'm having the S1 Titan 800, I want to measure loose powder precious metal sample, is it ok if I use the sample cup in this video to measure or I need to check for the others? Thank for your helps
I get that you require dipole moments to have very specific, characteristic absorption peaks. But what do you actually measure when using FTIR on a metal? You still get reflectance/absorption regions right? Let's say you would use ATR-FTIR on a coated sample, and you partially measure the substrate through a coating. Couldn't your signal become too distorted to make an accurate reading, but still show specific absorption peaks?
Hello, yes you will still be measuring the reflectance / absorption regions. There is potential for signal distortion as per your example, however it is dependant on the material measured and would vary on a case by case basis.

Hi Jose, when analysing it is important to have a decent thickness of the sample as to reach what is referred to as infinite thickness. This ensures the X-rays do not pass straight through the sample and are able to reach the XRF detector. The depth the X-rays reach is dependent on the sample itself.
