Metals and metalloids play fundamental roles in many physiological processes in biological
systems, but imbalance of these elements in the body may cause many diseases, such as …

Both anatase and rutile are well-known as stable phases of TiO2. In real-life samples, TiO2
is most likely to be a mixture of those phases rather than pure anatase and rutile, and …

Micro X-ray fluorescence imaging is a promising method for obtaining positional distribution
on specific elements in a nondestructive manner. So far, the technique has usually been …

This annual review of X-ray fluorescence covers developments over the period 1999–2000
in instrumentation and detectors, matrix correction and spectrum analysis software, X-ray …

As X-ray fluorescence radiation isotropically spreads from the sample, one of the most
important requirements for spectrometers for many years has been a large solid angle …

For many years, it has been believed that self-organized periodic ring structures known by
the name of Liesegang patterns (LPs) are formed only in quite thick media, typically thicker …

A visible-light digital camera is used for taking ordinary photos, but with new operational
procedures it can measure the photon energy in the X-ray wavelength region and therefore …

The laboratory implementation of grazing incidence in-plane X-ray diffraction, using an
unmodified commercial diffractometer, is described. Low resolution, high intensity …

Gabbroic rocks were collected at Mount Tsukuba in Japan, and their XAFS images were
studied using a projection-type X-ray fluorescence (XRF) microscope, which is a powerful …

The design and use of a novel portable synchrotron end-station is described, that allows for
the micro-imaging of X-ray absorption features of solids, via their luminescence emission …
