Synchrotron-based X-ray fluorescence microscopy is a flexible tool for identifying the
distribution of trace elements in biological specimens across a broad range of sample sizes …

Objectives In modern bone biology, the term “remodeling” generally refers to internal bone
turnover that creates secondary osteons. However, it is also widely used by skeletal …

Confocal micro-X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy can be performed with laboratory
spectrometers for elemental imaging with 3D resolution. Due to self-absorption inside a …

In the summer of 1845, under the command of Sir John Franklin, 128 officers and men
aboard Royal Navy ships HMS Erebus and HMS Terror sailed into Lancaster Sound and …

This review describes advances in the XRF group of techniques published approximately
between April 2016 and March 2017. With technique maturity, it is the sample rather than the …

Confocal micro-X-ray fluorescence (micro-XRF) spectroscopy facilitates three-dimensional
(3D) elemental imaging of heterogeneous samples in the micrometer range. Laboratory …

Given their strong affinity for the skeleton, trace elements are often stored in bones and teeth
long term. Diet, geography, health, disease, social status, activity, and occupation are some …

Background Selenium is an essential element with a rich and varied chemistry in living
organisms. It plays a variety of important roles ranging from being essential in enzymes that …

Redox mapping of solid-phase particles has been used for speciation mapping of near-
surface materials or within grains through the use of thin-sections without depth information …

Confocal X-ray fluorescence imaging (CXFI) and confocal X-ray absorption spectroscopy
(CXAS) respectively enable the study of three dimensionally resolved localization and …
