What is FireFly?

FireFly is an analytical instrument for rapid
multi-elemental analysis and chemical imaging.

FireFly utilises the Laser-Induced Breakdown
Spectroscopy (LIBS) - one of today's most
promising technique of elemental analysis.

With FireFly, you can easily apply the key
benefits of LIBS technology in your elemental
analysis applica


Applications
LIBS is fast and flexible, sensitive to the most of
the chemical elements with detection limits of
1-100 ppm. Potential applications are:

• Metallic, geology, plastic or biology materials
• Elemental imaging (mapping)
• Depth profiling of multiplayer materials
• Toxic / heavy metals detection
• Markers and nanoparticles detection


Equipment
Motorised 3-axis stage, resolution: <1 μm
• Microscopy view with objective turret
• Motorised laser spot size changing
• Motorised wavelength switching
• Gas purge and extrac
