1D/3D XRF Confocal mapping (CXRF)
Confocal XRF is a non-invasive analytical technique used to characterize samples with complex stratigraphy. The technique offers high chemical sensitivity and micrometric spatial resolution, enabling the detection of inorganic elements from the surface to the interior of the object, up to several hundred microns deep. It is particularly useful for analyzing paintings, ancient polychromies, inks, and plated metals, and has applications in archaeology, art, conservation, and restoration.
