M4 TORNADO AMICS

Integrate M4 TORNADO AMICS into any workflow to add geochemical and mineral maps from any prepared or un-prepared samples - drill core, hand samples, billets, thin sections and grain mounts. This innovative and robust instrument captures mineral information within a textural and elemental framework.

• Excellent trace-element detection limits and quick measurement times produce < 20 µm resolution phase maps that empower rapid decision making and down-selection of samples for further analysis by AMICS SEM or other techniques that require smaller prepared samples.
• M4 TORNADO AMICS is ideal for measurements of samples with large mineral grains such as coarse crystalline igneous rocks or heavy mineral sands, enabling quick analysis before crushing and sizing eliminates the orginial textural context
• The robust M4 TORNADO instrument can be forward deployed to field locations worldwide; it is easy to use, self-contained and has no consumables. When equipped with M4 TORNADO AMICS and combined with a compact SEM and field-appropriate sample preparation tools it can provide a complete on-site lithological and textural analytical solution for fast tactical decision making.

The M4 TORNADO AMICS is part of Bruker’s innovative automated mineralogy ecosystem that provides mineral data from micro-XRF and SEM-EDS. AMICS for SEM-EDS brings together high-resolution BSE with high-throughput EDS for an automated mineralogy solution that automates the collection and analysis of data from the Scanning Electron Microscope. AMICS is the next generation characterization tool for the detailed and quantitative analysis of samples incorporating innovative imaging and analysis.
