Micro-XRF

Micro-XRF is an ideal method for element mapping large samples (19 x 16 cm) with little or no sample preparation. The technique is rapid and non-destructive, and is used to quickly acquire qualitative and quantitative geochemical data at high spatial resolution. Measurements are collected either under normal atmospheric conditions (air) or under vacuum for elements from sodium (Na) to uranium (U) with quantification limits ranging from parts per million to percentage.
