XRF Testing>>What is XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence)

 XRF Testing


          An X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometer is an X-ray machine for routine, relatively non-destructive chemical analysis of rocks, minerals, sediments and liquids. It works on the principles of wavelength dispersive spectroscopy, similar to an electron Microprobe (EPMA). However, XRF analysis can not in general the small size of the typical workplace EPMA (2-5 microns), so it is usually used to analyze much larger group of geological materials. The relative ease and low cost of sample preparation and the stability and ease of use of X-ray spectrometers make it one of the most used for the analysis of major and trace elements in rocks, minerals and sediment.
