Spectroscopic approaches to plant and soil sciences have provided important information
for several decades. However, many of these approaches suffered from a number of …

The fundamental parameter method for quantitative SXRF and PIXE analysis and imaging
using the dynamic analysis method is extended to model the changing X-ray yields and …

Hard X-ray fluorescence microscopy is well-suited to in-situ investigations of trace metal
distributions within whole, unstained, biological tissue, with sub-parts-per-million detection …

X-ray fluorescence tomography promises to map elemental distributions in unstained and
unfixed biological specimens in three dimensions at high resolution and sensitivity, offering …

Motivated by the need for megapixel high definition trace element imaging to capture

Abstract Background and Aims This Botanical Briefing reviews the application of synchrotron
X-ray fluorescence (SXRF) microprobes to the plant sciences; how the technique has …

Environmental context. Elemental speciation defines mobility, accumulation behaviour and
toxicity of elements in the environment. Environmental processes are then modelled using …

The basic physics behind the interaction of ions with solid-state matter is discussed, with an
emphasis on the formation of interaction products between the ions and target atoms …

Present macroscopic biomedical imaging methods provide either morphology with high
spatial resolution (eg CT) or functional/molecular information with lower resolution (eg PET) …

Novel low-energy X-ray fluorescence (LEXRF) system based on a multiple Si drift detector
