	Benchtop Stand When repeatable positioning of the analyser or longer measurement times are required for best accuracy and precision (e.g. analysis of small parts, electronic components, powders, etc.) convert the X-MET to a benchtop unit in a matter of seconds with our benchtop stand. The stand includes dual fail to safe interlocks and a visible “X-rays on” warning light for uncompromised radiation safety and local compliance.
	Weld Beam Collimator Weld beam adapter easily clips onto the front of the X-MET. Designed specifically for small welds, less than 4 mm. Note: Use of the weld adapter will effect the analysis performance. Both analyser accuracy and precision may be compromised when using the weld beam adapter depending on the material and application. **Not suitable for light element analysis.
	Holster Easy to access instrument holster for securely carrying the X-MET analyser around the site. Belt is included.
	Light Radiation Shield To further protect the user when measuring samples that might scatter the X-rays, such as platics, light metals, minerals, drywall, etc.
	Wireless Bluetooth® Printer and barcode scanner Lightweight direct thermal printer that uses wireless Bluetooth technology. Print out results directly from X-MET screen without disconnecting PDA. Printer uses size A7 thermal paper which doesn't curl and feel almost like normal paper. Selection of labels is also available.
	Extendable Pole to measure hard-to-reach places, and to improve ergonomics when analysing at ground levels (soil, mining). Includes remote trigger.
	Bluetooth GPS Receiver Nokia LD-3W Bluetooth GPS receiver combines location coordinates with the measurement results. Useful especially for geochemical mapping and soil screening. Automatic storage of location coordinates with assay data.
