Flex-CLUE is the ideal flexible package to handle highperformance CL analysis, for a wide range of applications, within an affordable budget. Based on a dedicated fiber-optic interface, Flex- CLUE offers a compact and remote CL solution perfectly adapted to an SEM environment where space or access is limited.
Flex-CLUE system provides high resolution spectral information with the spatial resolution of an electron probe. We feature the widest spectral range available (UV-VIS to IR), fast CL imaging, CL spectroscopy for detecting trace elements in natural and synthetic minerals, and hyperspectral mapping.
Flex-CLUE system can integrate HORIBA's MicroHR and iHR spectrometers, Synapse CCDs, and photomultiplier tube detectors to create a range of CL solutions. Flex-CLUE is also fully automated, controlled by our LabSpec software for setting of hardware experimental parameters, data-fitting, display and export. It is easy to use and offers comprehensive system control, and advanced data acquisition routines.
