Edward,
we have found that there is nothing better than ordinary stoneaged crossectioning and study in a metalographic microscope. In mass production, samples are usually enough. Such examinations don't take time and they tell a lot more than betascope. And...you can store the images and have a look back up and then.

I am looking after alternative method of measuring of electroplated Gold
over Nickel for production .Gold thickness is in range from 0.75 to 2.5
microns.
I have in my plant beta scope with Promethium source with lot of problems.I
have also XRF,that can not be placed in production area.
Any sugestions?
