While the spacecraft carried seven foreign instruments which were, Chandrayaan-I
X-ray Spectrometer (CIXS), Near-Infrared Spectrometer (SIR - 2), Sub keV Atom Reflecting Analyzer (SARA), Miniature Synthetic Aperature Radar (Mini SAR), Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3) and a Radiation Dose Monitor (RADOM).
(2) Results with
X-Ray Spectrometer. The
X-ray spectrometer was used to trace the X-ray line spectra and analyze the X-ray energy spectrum within 45 keV.
The miniaturised
X-ray spectrometer, about the size of a toaster, and known as D-CIXS, was at the core of the mission.
Among the Smart-1's scientific instruments are a D-CIXS (a demonstrator compact
X-ray spectrometer) which has worked so well the mission was extended by an additional year.
X-ray spectrometer. A device that uses X-rays to analyse the composition of rocks.
Spectro Analytical Instruments, Fitchburg, Mass., www.spectro-usa.com, is touting its X-Lab 2000
X-ray spectrometer as ideal for this purpose.
Detector fluorescence peak (dead-layer peak, silicon internal fluorescence peak): A peak resulting from the emission of characteristic X-rays in a thin layer of inactive crystal area in the front of an energy dispersive
X-ray spectrometer detector.
The new S4 Pioneer
x-ray spectrometer from Broker AXS is the latest member of its Spectrometry Solutions family for multi-elemental (beryllium to uranium) analyses in solids, powders and liquids.
According to the company, this device is the only plug-in analyze
X-ray spectrometer that covers the full elemental range from beryllium to uranium with high precision up to 0.05 percent reliability for major compounds.
The 2100E x-ray diffractometer is designed to work in conjunction with an
x-ray spectrometer, which provides elemental analysis.
