Our next-generation mobile
X-ray diffraction analyzers

5
00:00:12,700 --> 00:00:15,533
offer fast, reliable
quantitative mineralogy

6
00:00:15,533 --> 00:00:18,300
of major and minor components
in real-time,

7
00:00:18,300 --> 00:00:22,000
so you can make decisions
quickly and with confidence.

8
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,033
Two instruments are available:

9
00:00:24,033 --> 00:00:26,666
the portable TERRA™ II XRD analyzer

10
00:00:26,666 --> 00:00:30,366
features a six-hour battery life
and a rugged, weatherproof case

11
00:00:30,366 --> 00:00:34,033
for in-field use while the
benchtop BTX™ III offers

12
00:00:34,033 --> 00:00:37,433
the same analytical performance
in a compact design.

13
00:00:37,433 --> 00:00:40,033
Both offer novel features
that make them virtually

14
00:00:40,033 --> 00:00:43,966
maintenance-free alternatives
to conventional XRD.

15
00:00:43,966 --> 00:00:46,533
Unlike conventional XRD instruments,

16
00:00:46,533 --> 00:00:50,366
Olympus XRD analyzers
require no compressed gas,

17
00:00:50,366 --> 00:00:54,566
water cooling, secondary chiller,
or external transformer,

18
00:00:54,566 --> 00:00:57,333
keeping the cost of ownership low.

19
00:00:57,333 --> 00:01:01,666
Their unique sample holder
requires only 15 mg of material,

20
00:01:01,666 --> 00:01:05,066
helping to simplify sample
collection and preparation.

21
00:01:05,066 --> 00:01:07,633
Another benefit of our XRD systems

22
00:01:07,633 --> 00:01:10,433
is that they use innovative
transmission geometry,

23
00:01:10,433 --> 00:01:14,400
rather than the reflection geometry
used in conventional XRD models,

24
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,766
to enable greater
precision and accuracy.

25
00:01:17,766 --> 00:01:21,833
They also simultaneously collect
the entire 2-theta range,

26
00:01:21,833 --> 00:01:26,000
so the complete diffraction pattern
is visible almost immediately.

27
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,666
Our next-generation XRD analyzers

28
00:01:28,666 --> 00:01:31,400
are powered by intuitive
SwiftMin® software

29
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:35,200
and an improved X-ray detector
for outstanding speed.

30
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,933
SwiftMin software
offers time-saving features

31
00:01:37,933 --> 00:01:41,766
to streamline repetitive
analysis and user training.

32
00:01:41,766 --> 00:01:47,100
Users can access mineral phase ID
and quantification data in real time

33
00:01:47,100 --> 00:01:50,166
Set up the analyzer
to automatically transfer data

34
00:01:50,166 --> 00:01:53,533
after a preset amount of time
or when you hit stop.

35
00:01:53,533 --> 00:01:57,200
See all recipes, calibration,
and analysis information

36
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,466
at the same time
on the software dashboard

37
00:02:00,466 --> 00:02:04,500
Input preset mode using the
password-protected lab manager screen,

38
00:02:04,500 --> 00:02:09,000
so any operator can use the
analyzer and get reliable results.

39
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:13,533
To show you how Olympus XRD works,
let’s perform a test.

40
00:02:13,533 --> 00:02:16,800
First, turn the sample into a powder.

41
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:21,600
Only 15 mg of sample powdered
to 150 microns is required,

42
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,533
giving you the option to perform
bulk or selective sampling.

43
00:02:25,533 --> 00:02:30,000
The accessories to prepare the sample
are included with your analyzer;

44
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,500
quickly crush the sample and run it
through a sieve or portable mill.

45
00:02:34,500 --> 00:02:37,833
Next, place the sample in
the vibrating sample holder,

46
00:02:37,833 --> 00:02:40,500
and press start acquisition.

47
00:02:40,500 --> 00:02:42,400
As the sample processes,

48
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,400
view the diffraction pattern
in real time

49
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,366
by connecting the XRD analyzer
to your laptop,

50
00:02:47,366 --> 00:02:51,100
tablet, smart phone,
or other wireless device.

51
00:02:51,100 --> 00:02:53,733
The pattern is now ready for report.

52
00:02:53,733 --> 00:02:57,333
You can also edit results
before running the report.

53
00:02:57,333 --> 00:02:59,233
By following these simple steps,

54
00:02:59,233 --> 00:03:01,766
we’ve achieved
quantitative XRD analysis

55
00:03:01,766 --> 00:03:04,700
faster than with
a conventional system.

56
00:03:04,700 --> 00:03:07,500
