Streamline your analytical setup with this free Macro-Analysis Scan Time Calculator web app!
As a heritage scientist, I know firsthand the importance of accurate preparation for efficient analysis of cultural heritage objects.
That’s why I’m happy to present a tool that can help streamline the setup process of macro-analysis (e.g. MA-XRF, MA-XRD, HSI) for anyone in the field.
This web app allows a user to input key parameters such as object dimensions and scan resolution (step size) to calculate the number of points acquired and the scan time required on the fly.
This can be incredibly helpful for planning your analysis, saving time and effort in the process.
