Olympus Innov-X introduced its DELTA-50 XRF analyzer, an evolution of the popular DELTA Premium handheld XRF analyzer series, at PDAC 2011. The DELTA-50 is powered with a 4W, 50kV x-ray tube-ideal for the preferential excitement of rare earth elements (REEs) including La, Ce, Pr, and Nd, as well as typical REE pathfinders including Y, Th, and Nb.
The DELTA-50 brings the power of a mobile lab to a handheld system-ruggedized and ultra portable. You now have a choice for REE exploration and grading: the 10W, closed beam X-5000 mobile lab, or the new handheld and ultra-portable 4W DELTA-50.
Olympus Innov-X's DELTA line of XRF analyzers couple high resolution, large-area silicon drift detectors (SDD) with a powerful 4W tube to deliver fast and precise compositional analysis of rock outcrop, soil, sediment, till, drill cuttings, diamond core and ore grade material. With dramatically reduced testing times, the DELTA allows hundreds more tests per day and significantly higher confidence in your surface and near-surface geochemical surveys. The real value arrives in the field, where the Geoscientist can now use real-time, "Instant Geochemistry" delivered by the DELTA to make decisions on the fly about site geology, and adapt sampling and mapping programs dynamically. DELTA analyzers allow you to make immediate in-the-field decisions, maximizing your exploration budget.
DELTA analyzers offer cutting-edge electronics and X-ray technology, as well as innovative software features that make DELTA analyzers fast, user-friendly, and easy to operate. These analyzers are engineered for continual use, achieving thousands of tests per day in some applications, even in extreme environments. Every DELTA is engineered for rugged toughness AND analytical precision; there are no compromises!
