Bruker ELIO

Bruker ELIO – Portable Micro-XRF Spectrometer

Bruker ELIO is an ultra-portable Micro-XRF spectrometer designed for contactless and non-destructive elemental analysis of valuable, sensitive, and difficult-to-transport objects.

It enables precise analysis directly on site, without the need for sample preparation. With point analysis and 1D/2D mapping capabilities, ELIO provides detailed information about the elemental composition and distribution across the sample surface.

Applications

Art and Cultural Heritage

ELIO is particularly suitable for the analysis of artworks, historical objects, pigments, and archaeological artifacts, without contact or damage to the object.

Archaeology and Archaeometry

It enables elemental analysis of artifacts directly on site, including objects that are too large, heavy, or sensitive to be transported to a laboratory.

Geology and Geochemistry

Analysis of minerals, rocks, and other geological samples, including determination of elemental distribution.

Materials Research

Suitable for detailed characterization of various materials and analysis of individual areas or inclusions.

Technology

ELIO uses a microfocus X-ray tube with a Rh anode and an SDD detector featuring CUBE technology. The detector provides an energy resolution of <140 eV, combined with high sensitivity and fast measurement performance.

The integrated camera and laser positioning system enable precise identification of the measurement location, while the optional motorized XY stage allows automated 1D and 2D mapping of areas up to 100 × 100 mm.
