| X-Radiography |
 |
| The SwRI Component-Analysis Group has a FeinFocus high-resolution real-time x-radiography system that is equipped with a 5-axis sample-positioning stage. This system facilitates viewing the x-ray image in real time while sample orientation is being manipulated to best show the features of interest. Because of the small source size and high-resolution detector, substantial magnification may be achieved.
Accelerating voltages in the range of 30 kV to 160 kV are available. Additionally, conventional film x-ray equipment suitable for larger samples is available through both on-site and off-site contractors. |

| X-Ray Analysis--Elemental |
|
| The SwRI Component-Analysis Group has a Noran energy-dispersive x-ray elemental-analysis system that is installed on a scanning-electron microscope. The analyzer system is equipped with a light-element detector, so all elements, except atomic numbers 1 through 4, are detectable. Software associated with the system provides capabilities for qualitative analysis, quantitative analysis, and elemental-density mapping (also called dot mapping). For most elements, the detection threshold is less than 0.5% by weight.
