Thangka's are Tibetan Buddhist paintings that are traditionally painted following an established workflow with a rigid painting sequence. In this case study we inspect a Thangka via micro-XRF analysis with the M6 JETSTREAM.
Using micro-XRF we establish if the artwork was created for religious reasons, following a defined painting order, or if it is a replica. By examining the elements present we can also deduce the pigments used, shining light on the time period during which the thangka was cre...
You want to know how to overcome the challenges analyzing steels and alloys? Combine quantification!
Steel is a complex material with a wide range of elements and concentrations that cannot be characterized satisfactorily with a single analytical method only. Combining EDS, WDS and micro-XRF on SEM provide the unique possibility to quantify all the relevant element inventory with the best possible accuracy and precision. Only Bruker equipment facilitates the usage of EDS, WDS and micro-XRF syst...
#PicOfTheMonth - Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder.
Porcelain manufacturing in Eastern Germany is steeped in tradition, with Meissen being the birthplace of the first European chinaware in 1708, thanks to Johann Friedrich Boettger. The Meissen factory continued production even throughout the era of the German Democratic Republic (GDR), but Meissen was not the only porcelain manufacturer in East Germany.
Often referred to as “white gold,” porcelain was produced not only for domestic use but ...

One of the most significant fossils the hashtag#ARCHAEOPTERYX was recently unveiled in the Field Museum Chicago by Jingmai O’Connor, Associate Curator of Fossil Reptiles, and her team.
👉 fieldmuseum.org/exhibition/meet-the-chicago-archaeopteryx
Our Americas Expert team had the privilege of working closely with Dr. O’Connor, using our non-destructive M6 JETSTREAM micro-XRF spectrometer to map the entire fossil and uncover its unique features.
We're thrilled to contribute to such a pivotal momen...

#PicOfTheMonth on today's #InternationalAsteroidDay (June 30)
Gems from the sky!
Asteroids are remnants of solar system material that did not accrete to form planets, providing us with unique information about the origins of the solar system. Most of the asteroid material we have studied arrived as meteorites. These cosmic materials record a wide variety of compositions and complex formation and transformation processes. Some of these materials are quite pristine, such as chondrites, while o...
The Mauritshuis Museum in The Hague, the Netherlands, is examining and restoring Paulus Potter's "The Bull" in front of the public. We are very proud that our M6 JETSTREAM is part of this project and helps to reveal the secrets of this world-famous painting.
See in the image conservators Abbie Vandivere and Jolijn Schilder who used the M6 Jetstream to examine 17th-century paintings by Paulus Potter at the Mauritshuis.
The Mauritshuis is a small world-class museum with an incredible collection of...
Unser XFlash®spielt ein entscheidende Rolle bei Untersuchungen und Erforschungen von verschiedenen Materialien. In der deutschen Terra X' Dokureihe "Rätselhafte Phänomene - Vulkane und Geisterbäume" wird z.B. eine Anwendung in der Bau- und Umweltwissenschaft am MIT gezeigt. Im ersten Kapitel ab min 7:20 sieht man wie der Bruker XFlash® Detektor unterstützt, langlebiges und umweltfreundliches römischen Beton nachzuahmen: https://www.zdf.de/dokumentation/terra-x/raetselhafte-phaenomene-vulkane-und ...

Many electronic devices are required to function at non-ideal conditions, such as when exposed to humid atmospheres or under high temperatures.
This semiconductor module was consciously exposed to artificial sea water to evaluate its response to such a hostile environment. The regions where salt was deposited are immediately visible via the green chlorine signal in the element mapping.
