A summary of focusing X ray polycapillary optics is presented including history, theory,
modeling, and applications development. The focusing effects of polycapillary optics come …

As a result of the greater consciousness within the analytical community on the impact of
chemicals on human health and environment, green issues are increasingly taken into …

X‐ray fluorescence (XRF) is a nondestructive, multielemental, fast and cost‐effective
analysis technique. It can be applied in a nonvacuum environment directly on the samples …

An existing micro-x-ray fluorescence (micro-XRF) spectrometer designed for light element
analysis (6≤ Z≤ 14) has been extended to confocal geometry: a second polycapillary x-ray …

Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) was used for depth-profile analysis of one
Sasanian coin of the emperor Khusro II (591–628) from the Coin Collection of the …

This manuscript reviews the most used optical systems for X-ray microprobes and
summarizes the experiences in research with synchrotron radiation as well as with X-ray …

A collection of 39 metallic artefacts recovered in archaeological sites of Southern Portugal
was studied by micro‐EDXRF to identify their compositions and the use of metal among …

Studies concerning European Proto-historic metallic artefacts can provide important clues
about technological transfers during a period of time characterised by diverse cultural …

The energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer for analysis of conventional and
micro-samples using pinhole collimators of various sizes is developed. The measurements …
