ProvenX NAP

The SPECS ProvenX NAP is available with backfilling configuration or with In-Situ Cell (DeviSIM, like a small compact reactor). It is a performance optimised system for state of the art NAP-XPS as well as NAP-UPS measurements from UHV up to 30 mbar pressure range. It contains a PHOIBOS 150 NAP analyser with unsurpassed transmission and angular acceptance, a high performance small spot monochromatic X-ray source µ-FOCUS 600 NAP, a 4-axes manipulator or DeviSIM with NAP different heating capabilities as well as an optional non-monochromatic UV source UVS 300 NAP.

Key Features


The system comes with UHV sample storage facility and a multi sample fast entry loadlock. System control is performed by the SpecsLab Prodigy software suite with integrated remote control packages and a computer based vacuum control system.

The system can be equipped with additional sources for material characterisation as well as a high pressure cell HPC 20 for sample preparation. Additional system extensions like continuous flow EC-cell or a preparation module can be added to the system.
