Seeking plating thickness measurement machine

I am looking for an x-ray machine for the measurement of plating thickness on small steel components. I would like to hear from people who are using such machines. I plan to buy a used machine.

Ed. note: Sorry, this RFQ is old & outdated, so contact info is no longer available. However, if you feel that something technical should be said in reply, please post it; no public commercial suggestions please ( huh? why?)

We have a Veeco at our lab in Rock Hill if you would like to try it. I would make one comment on buying a used x-ray machine is that you get a warranty on the tube. If the tube goes you will be out about $5000 to buy and install a new one.
