X-ray and Ultraviolet Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS/UPS) Kratos Axis Supra

Location: Surface Analysis Lab
Responsible: Jonas Deuermeier

 

Description:
The Kratos AXIS Supra is based on the proven AXIS technology comprising: magnetic
and electrostatic transfer lenses; co-axial electron only charge neutralisation; spherical mirror and hemispherical electron energy analysers. Kratos developed innovations such as the delay-line detector for spectroscopy and imaging modes and high energy, motorised, X-ray excitation
sources ensure the AXIS Supra is capable of performing in the most demanding
research and development environments. With market leading performance in both
imaging and spectroscopy modes the AXIS Supra combines the highest level of automated sample handling with flexibility to incorporate complimentary analytical techniques in the analysis chamber.
