| Bruker AXS Serial Numbers |
All Bruker AXS parts have a serial number. This page is about the serial number for an entire X-ray System.
Usually the system serial number is on a sticker (label) on the surface of the enclosure that houses the system components. Over the years, the sticker has changed a few times (see examples to the right).
Different Names:
Sometimes the serial number is given a different name or abbreviation. For example:
- System Serial Number
- System Number
- SN or S/N
- F-Nr (German)
