Together these optics deliver a light pulse of unsurpassed power and uniform intensity to the specimen while preventing sample holder overflash. Only TA The Discovery Xenon Flash 200+ features a patented High Speed Xenon-Pulse Delivery™ source (HSXD) and a multi-faceted Light Pipe™. Together these optics deliver a light pulse of unsurpassed power and uniform intensity to the specimen while preventing sample holder overflash. Only TA Instruments high energy Xenon design is capable of testing samples to a diameter of 25.4 mm over a temperature range from -175 °C to 900 °C. The use of large samples diminishes errors associated with inhomogeneity and permits representative measurements of poorly dispersed composites. The DXF platform is designed for research and development programs as well as production control.

A reflective optic configuration of our design effectively harnesses the power of a Xenon flash tube and, with the aid of proprietary wave guides, delivers it to the specimen inside the Environmental Module. DXF 500 produces a pulse width of 400 µs to 600 µs and uniformly concentrates the power from the flash source directly on the entire face of the specimen. Due to this optimized optical arrangement and the broad light spectrum, specimens as large as 25 mm in diameter can be illuminated with sufficient energy to make a high-accuracy measurement. The use of large samples diminishes errors associated with inhomogeneity and permits representative measurements of poorly dispersed composites.... Read More |
