Recon Survey & Site Characterization with Handheld XRF
Thermo Scientific Niton analyzers are effective field reconnaissance survey tools. By performing in-situ soil analysis at a sight of suspected historic human activity, the user can identify areas such as buried architectural features, hearth areas and fire pits, burial grounds, and much more based on trend analysis of the elemental composition of the soil.
Pairing a systematic sampling grid with a Bluetooth™-equipped GPS device integrated with our analyzer makes the reconnaissance survey and mapping process faster and easier than ever with direct storage of latitude, longitude, and elevation along with the reading results.
The telescoping Extend-a-Pole™ dramatically improves ergonomics and makes it possible to increase sample throughput to over 600 samples per day
