Extract

An x-ray fluorescence macroprobe was built for intermediate-scale compositional mapping to bridge the gap in spatial resolution between bulk x-ray fluorescence and electron beam methods. The macroprobe was optimized for quantitative whole rock mapping on a millimeter scale to evaluate changes in bulk composition of fine-grained mineral aggregates.
