Quantitative X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and particle induced X-ray emission (PIXE)
techniques have been developed mostly for the elemental analysis of homogeneous bulk or …

Microscopic X-ray fluorescence (micro-XRF) is a versatile tool in environmental analysis. We
review work done in this field from 2008 to 2010 and highlight new aspects. Overall, there is …

Background Many metals are essential for plants and humans. Knowledge of metal
distribution in plant tissues in vivo contributes to the understanding of physiological …

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 this work, we studied the x‐ray energy dependence of x‐ray beam diameter focused by
polycapillary optics. A quantitative beam diameter–energy relation enables more accurate …

3D micro X-ray fluorescence analysis (3D Micro-XRF) is a non-destructive method for the
investigation of elemental compositions of specimens with which three-dimensionally …

The decorated black-and red-figured Athenian vases (sixth and fifth century BC) and the
plain black-glazed ware represent a milestone in our material culture due to their aesthetic …

A new method for the quantification of X-ray fluorescence (XRF) was derived based on the
fundamental parameter method (FPM). The FPM equations were adapted to accommodate …

Fundamental parameter based quantification of X-ray fluorescence (XRF) measurement
data requires an accurate knowledge of the spectrometer parameters, including the spectral …

This comprehensive review covers the latest published activities using XRF techniques. X-
ray analytical equipment continues to be integrated with X-ray emission/diffraction …
