The new FISCHERSCOPE X-RAY XDAL-PCB
The FISCHERSCOPE ® X-RAY XDAL ®-PCB is our latest X-ray fluorescence instrument for the precise measurement and analysis of layer thicknesses and layer compositions on printed circuit boards (PCB). As an easy-to-use benchtop instrument, functional layers as well as smallest components and structures on printed circuit boards can be measured.
Powerful thanks to the combination of a multicollimator and a highly sensitive silicon drift detector, it ideally complements our PCB series. This is because the XDAL-PCB closes the gap between the more cost-effective entry level devices, XULM-PCB and XDLM-PCB, and our premium device, XDV-µ PCB.
May we introduce: Our newest member in the PCB series
Powerful thanks to modern silicon drift detector, the FISCHERSCOPE X-RAY XDAL-PCB is ideal for more complex measurement tasks and the measurement of very thin layers < 0.1 µm. In addition, you benefit from:
- Tungsten or chrome microfocus tube for high beam intensity and measurement precision
- 3x changeable filter for better excitation conditions for more complex tasks
- 4x changeable apertures (collimators) for optimized measurement conditions
- Smallest measurement spot Ø approx. 0.15 mm
- Highly sensitive silicon drift detector (SDD) for high-resolution results with low measurement time and improved repeatability
- Manual pull-out stage for PCBs up to 610 x 610 mm (24 x 24 in), optional sample stage extension or automatic stage
- Maximum sample height 10 mm
- Measuring distance 0…10 mm with Fischer’s patented DCM method for easy and fast adjustment of the measuring distance
- For analyses of light elements from aluminum (13) to uranium (92)
- Direct phosphorus determination of NiP layers possible
- Fulfills the requirements to measure ENIG and ENEPIG coatings
- Approval: Individual approval as full protection device according to German radiation protection law, subject to approval according to § 12 Radiation Protection Act

Quality production with Fischer according to IPC-4552 and -4556
The FISCHERSCOPE X-RAY XDAL PCB and the FISCHERSCOPE X-RAY XDV-µ PCB comply with the IPC-4552-A/B and IPC-4556 standards and thus with the ENIG and ENEPIG requirements.
IPC-4556 is the authoritative specification for the plating of printed circuit boards with ENEPIG (electroless nickel/chemical palladium/immersion gold). IPC-4552-A/B for ENIG (electroless nickel/chemical gold).
The IPC specification provides detailed guidelines for the manufacturing of high quality PCB plating that provides optimum conditions for high shelf life/durability, good solderability and reliable bonds of gold, copper or aluminium wire.
