The 3+D scanner is designed to permit movement of a large format object in order to complete determination of chemicals present on the object surface. X-Y movement of the sample stage is completed under computer control using a web enabled program. Movement of up to 20 mm in the Z-direction is completed manually.
Using the 3+D Scanner enables inspection of objects either by using a rapid scan, or by computer control selection of specific regions. In the scan mode mass spectra are acquired into a data file while continuous desorption ionization of the sample occurs. The resolution of the inspection is set by adjusting the Y -distance. In manual mode rapid analysis or spots on the surface is facilitated by directing the stage movement to bring the area of interest into the desorption ionization region for analysis.
Requires SVP-45A
