The best in X-rqy spectrometry. Literally at your fingertips. If you know X-ray wavelength fluorescence spectrometry you probably know you can do solid, liquid or powder samples, detect elements from Fluorine to Uranium-92 in concentrations from ppm to 100%. What you might not know is that Philips has been working to make this technique a practical science for nearly 35 years. The result is our Philips AXS system; AXS stands for Automated X-Ray Wavelength Spectrometer. The automation is total; the latest refinements in X-ray analysis are at your command to turn the raw data into precise quantitative and qualitative answers—quickly and visually, with our comprehensive graphics computer program. And with an automatic sample changer, you can load up to 60 samples, select a different program for each, type in "MEASURE", go for a cup of coffee and have the results in hand when you return. For complete information on the AXS, call or write Philips Electronic Instruments, 85 McKee Drive, Mahwah, N.J. 07430. (201)529-3800. A North American Philips Company. It's all right here and about as complete as you will find anywhere. It's automatic, but not rigid. You have total interactive control over hardware setup, data collection, data processing and filing away in the reference library. You can set it up for routine work, advanced research or some of both. That's because you can call up and change more than 200 setup parameters, a series of correction models, store and retrieve more than 25 sample programs—and in all cases minimize the need for standards with the exclusive ALPHAS program. All in less than a minute.
X-ray, the Philips way —may be your way. PHILIPS
