Our godchild from Uganda sends greetings
Some time ago we received a letter from our godchild Nakimera Maria from Uganda, which we were very happy about. We have been with her since 2013 and meanwhile she has grown into a teenager.
Smart vacuum pumps reduce power consumption and costs
Within the framework of rising electricity prices and declining certainty of supply, we took an initiative at an early stage to reduce consumption in our company. Since the operation of our devices and analysis methods permanently requires electrical energy, this topic presents us with a major challenge.
Satisfied Coxem customer sends a panorama greeting card
One of the users is changing his job and as a little farewell gift he made us a panorama SEM image that he took with the Coxem EM-30N. This mosaic shows a 3-point bending fracture in a deformed wood sample. With the standard integrated panorama module from Coxem, 169 individual images of a microtome section of the fracture site were collected at 200x magnification with the secondary electron detector and automatically stitched. The imaging procedure took almost 3 hours. We were particularly impressed by the stability of the electron beam during the entire acquisition time.
We support company bikes for employees
Coming to work on a company bike – this has also been possible at RJL Micro & Analytic since this spring.
A warm Christmas greeting
We wish you and your families a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year in 2021. Please note that our test laboratory will be closed from December 24th, 2020 to January 6th, 2021 and that our secretariat will only be accessible to a limited extent during this time.
EBSD implemented for the first time in a tabletop SEM-EDX
We recently supported Bruker Nano with the world's first commissioning of a compact EBSD system on our Coxem Tabletop SEM-EDX. Thanks to good preparation, the installation went smoothly and after just one hour we were able to record the first EBSD mappings. For Bruker and Coxem, this test represents an important step towards commercializing EBSD technology for SEM-EDX desktop devices.
We are hiring: laboratory technician or laboratory assistant (m / f / d)

Festive greetings from the winter land of particles
We wish you and your families a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year in 2021. Please note that our test laboratory will be closed from December 24th, 2020 to January 6th, 2021 and that our secretariat will only be accessible to a limited extent during this time.
Coxem introduces BE detector with excellent Z-resolution
Coxem recently presented a new backscattered electron detector (BE) for its SEM-EDX systems, which impresses with its excellent sensitivity. The new BE detector is particularly interesting for applications that benefit from a high contrast of the atomic number Z.
Innovative 3D X-ray microscope SkyScan 2214 in the video
Bruker microCT has published a very interesting video about the new new 3D X-ray microscope SkyScan 2214. The video shows the amazing possibilities of non-destructive 3D imaging down to the sub-micrometer range.
New guideline VDI 2083 sheet 21 on the purity of medical devices
In October 2019, the Association of German Engineers (VDI) published a new guideline on the purity of medical devices (VDI 2083 Blatt 21: 2019-10). In this article we inform customers and interested parties about essential aspects of the new directive.
BNN on our contribution to the refurbishment of protective masks
In its recent issue from April 28th, 2020, the Badische Neusten Nachrichten (BNN) published an article very much worth reading about our involvement in the development of a procedure for the refurbishment of medical protective masks.
We support Helios in the refurbishment of FFP protective masks
Given the continuing shortage of protection materials for hospital staff during the Corona crisis, Helios experts have in the past weeks developed a safe procedure for refurbishing FFP masks. Helios is making this method publically available, so that all medical staff can be supplied with sufficient protective materials.
Sand in the gearbox - abrasive minerals invisible in contaminant particles?
It is often surprising for our customers if we find hard mineral particles on their components during residual dirt analysis. Customers ask: "How can that be? We were not able to determine anything in our own cleanliness tests. ”The question of contamination from hard minerals is so important because these particles have an abrasive effect and thus massively damage mechanical systems such as gears and motors.
Surprising discovery of diatoms using SEM-EDX
Researchers from Bremen have provided us with this interesting sample of volcanic ash, which we examined with our Coxem tabletop SEM-EDX. In addition to the sponge structure of the fine ash particles typical of volcanic eruptions, we identified various microfossils, so-called diatoms.
Filmic contamination leads to gearbox failure
The determination of technical cleanliness according to VDA-19.1 and ISO-16232 has become an integral part of quality control and error analysis - because the cleanliness of components is crucial for the quality and error-free functioning of the product. In addition to particles, film contamination is a problem, as the following example from quality assurance in the production of electrical drive systems shows.
SEM-EDX analysis of bacterial carbonate deposits on wood
Employees from the Wood Engineering Department sent us an aged wood sample with a typical discoloration. With our Coxem scanning electron microscope we have imaged the microstructure at high resolution and carried out an elemental analysis of the discoloration.
Identification of tire abrasion microparticles using SEM-EDX
In order to answer the question of the whereabouts of microplastic particles from tire abrasion, new analysis methods are urgently needed to reliably detect and count these particles. We conducted a pilot study to test the possibilities of automatic SEM-EDX analysis in the quantification of tire wear in environmental samples.
Greetings from our Christmas angel made of salt
The RJL Micro & Analytic team wishes you and your families a merry Christmas and a healthy 2020. Please note that our test laboratory will be closed from December 24th, 2019 to January 6th, 2020 and our secretariat will only be available to a limited extent during this time. The picture shows a SEM image of salt crystals in 5000x magnification. The salts were […]
High Aspect Ratio Tomography for samples with a high aspect ratio
Bruker has developed a special scan mode for samples with a high aspect ratio for the latest generation of SkyScan micro-CT devices. Objects of this type are characterized by a high ratio of length to width and always present users of microtomography with challenges.
