Description
The micro-XRF spectroscope (XRF: X-ray fluorescence) is a non-contact, non-destructive tool for qualitative and quantitative material composition analysis. It can be used on various materials, including ceramics, stone tools, metal objects, plants, bones, tissues, polymers, pigments, glasses, geological samples, and industrial materials. Measurements can be conducted with 200 µm or 20 µm diameter measurement points, enabling point measurements, line scans, area analyses, and 2D element mapping. With its high excitation power, the spectroscope can extract compositional information from depths of up to several hundred micrometers, and it is also capable of trace element analysis.
