Ideal for art and cultural artefacts
The Bruker M6 JETSTREAM is a micro-XRF analyser for element distribution analysis of large samples. It’s portable and can be easily moved around a gallery, museum or shop floor. The scan area is 800mm x 600mm with a variable spot size down to 100 µm and speeds of up to 100 mm/s .
Ideal for art and cultural artefacts
Move around galleries and museums
For “on the fly” analysis
Micro-XRF is an invaluable tool for researchers working in cultural heritage science, curators, conservators and scientific staff in museums and galleries. Non-destructive analysis with the M4 JETSTREAM provides valuable information for restoration, conservation and authenticity verification. Elemental analysis reveals hidden layers, alterations and the constituents of inorganic pigments. Gain an understanding of artistic processes, for painting authentication and conservation of paintings.

How the National Gallery used the M6 JETSTREAM to analyse a Leonardo da Vinci painting
The Bruker M6 JETSTREAM is ideal for analysing large geological specimens, including drill core segments. Micro-XRF spectrometry provides information about:
Fast elemental analysis of large geological samples with the Bruker M6 JETSTREAM is a non-invasive technique for visualising major and trace element distribution on a macroscopic scale. Visualise the chemical map and select of areas of interest. The lab report describes analysis of a large polished slab of granite (130cm x 80cm) from the Vredefort Dome in South Africa, which is part of the largest known meteorite crater on Earth.
