3 Instrument Specifications
The XDS Process Analytics Instrument uses Near Infrared (NIR) energy to determine chemical and
physical characteristics of the sample. The sample is illuminated with white light through a fiber optic
bundle. The light is returned through a separate fiber bundle path, and the returning signal is broken
down into visible and NIR wavelengths for spectroscopic analysis. The spectroscopic data is processed
using a PC, and results are output in real time. This permits on-the-fly adjustment of the process to
maintain optimum characteristics.
Instrument Specifications are as follows:
3.1 Enclosure Options for Specific Environments
