Extract

Micro-SRXRF (Synchrotron Radiation induced X-ray Fluorescence) is ti microanalytical technique which, utilizes an intense, polarized X-ray micro beam originating from the storage ring to induce X-ray fluorescence in a microscopic volume of the sample under investigation. The emerging fluorescent and scattered radiation is normally detected by an energy-dispersive Si(Li) detector. The recorded fluorescent spectra provide qualitative and quantitative information on the examined material yielding minimum, detection limits in the ppm and in favourable cases in the sub-ppm range at current SRXRF-facilities. Possible applications of synchrotron X-ray microprobes are the mapping of chemical elements in biological tissues, investigation of element migration and partitioning in geological systems, the analysis of individual microscopic particles and a variety of topics in applied research.
