X-ray fluorescence imaging and computed tomography represent a convergent approach that combines elemental sensitivity with high-resolution anatomical imaging. By utilising characteristic secondary ...

What is Scanning X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) Microscopy? Scanning X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) Microscopy is a powerful analytical technique that enables the visualization and quantification of the elemental ...

An X-ray nanoprobe consists of several essential components that work together to achieve high-resolution imaging and analysis: Scanning XRF microscopy maps the elemental distribution in a sample by ...

A synchrotron is a circular particle accelerator. Charged particles (electrons) are accelerated through many magnets in the device until they exceed the speed of light. These particles produce a ...

X-rays, a type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths from 0.01 to 10 nanometers, pack enough energy to pierce materials and interact with inner-shell electrons. 1 When they hit a sample, ...

X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) is a common investigative technique capable of providing qualitative and quantitative data on the composition of a chemical sample. Analyzers are based on the principle that ...

Ancient Japanese gold leaf artists were truly masters of their craft. An analysis of six ancient Namban paper screens show that these artifacts are gilded with gold leaf that was hand-beaten to the ...

A new technique produces X-ray images in colour quickly and efficiently using a specially-structured device called a Fresnel zone plate (FZP). The technique could have applications in nuclear medicine ...

X ray spectrometry techniques are nowadays widely used in many analytical applications. The different interactions of x rays with matter have served to provide useful information for comprehensive ...
