With this issue of Bruker AXS's FIRST Newsletter, we welcome the customers and contacts of our sister company, Bruker Nano Analytics, to our growing list of readers.
Bruker Nano Analytics (BNA) is headquartered in Berlin, Germany and, like Bruker AXS, has sales, service and production sites all over the world. With three main business units – EMA (electron microscope analyzers), XMA (X-ray micro-analyzers), and HMP (handheld mobile portable analyzers) – BNA develops, manufactures and markets analytical X-ray instruments for elemental and structural analysis at the micro- and nano-scale, including:
- EDS (energy-dispersive spectrometers) for scanning electron microscopes: QUANTAX EDS for SEM
- WDS (wavelength-dispersive spectrometers) for scanning electron microscopes: QUANTAX WDS for SEM
- EBSD (electron backscatter diffraction) systems for electron microscopes: QUANTAX EBSD
- Micro-XRF (X-ray fluorescence) spectrometers for electron microscopes: QUANTAX Micro-XRF
- Micro-XRF standalone mobile and benchtop systems:
M4 TORNADO PLUS
- TXRF (total reflection X-ray fluorescence) spectrometers:
S2 PICOFOX and S4 T-STAR
- HH-XRF (handheld X-ray fluorescence) spectrometers: S1 TITAN, TRACER 5, and CTX
- HH-LIBS (handheld laser induced breakdown spectroscopy) analyzers: EOS 500
BNA's network of sales and service offices worldwide stand ready to discuss your applications and answer your analytical questions. Feel free to contact us online to inquire about their products and services.

Bruker's unique Dynamic Beam OptimizationTM (DBO) feature sets a significant new benchmark in terms of data quality for X-ray diffraction and scattering applications. The software-controlled synchronization of a motorized divergence slit, motorized anti-scatter screen, and variable detector field of view provides measurement data virtually free of air, instrument, and sample holder scattering – specifically at low angles 2θ. DBO is available for D8 ADVANCE, D8 DISCOVER and D8 ENDEAVOR diffractometers. Existing diffractometers can be easily upgraded.

The next generation of Bruker's powerful and versatile spectrometer software, SPECTRA.ELEMENTS, is now available for all S2 PUMA users. Key benefits of upgrading include:
- Enhanced speed, for smooth operation, shorter measurement times, and faster evaluation
- Improved user interface, making the software even more intuitive and flexible
- New features, such as basic and advanced modes that make your life easier
Did you know that this upgrade can be done by our Service Engineers? So, why not combine this upgrade with a Preventive Maintenance Service Visit? If you purchase this upgrade together with a planned maintenance visit, installation of the software upgrade is free of charge!
For more information, please contact your local service support office, or fill out a request form and one of our dedicated Service Engineers will get back you.

Bruker Nano Analytics has organized existing videos on their YouTube channel into the categories "Electron Microscope Analyzers (EDS, WDS, EBSD, Micro-XRF on SEM)", "Micro-XRF", "Total Reflection XRF Analysis (TXRF), and "Handheld-Mobile-Portable XRF". They have also added a new video, Micro-XRF on SEM: Rapid Stage for Elemental Mapping. Rapid Stage is a modular piezo-based stage designed to be mounted on top of standard SEM stages to enable high-speed mapping over large areas.
