This article describes the instrumentation for a total reflection fluorescent x-ray spectrometer. The reflecting intensity and the angular divergence were studied with respect to various kinds of monochromators. Using silicon wafers, the angular divergence effect of the incident beam, surface roughness influences and the smoothing of background x-ray intensity for the improvement of the lower limit of detection were investigated.
