Prospectives for μ-XRF
μ-XRF is a relatively new analytical method with a high analytical potential. In between the third instrument generation is available and most of the components have already a high performance. But still there...

XRF-Basics
This chapter describes the main interactions of X-rays with matter and how these can be used for the characterization of material. Such interactions are absorption, emission of fluorescence (or secondary) radi...

Chapter
Sample Preparation
XRF very often is marked as a non-destructive analytical method. But this is wrong. The sample often has to be cut to fit into the instrument, it has to be crushed and grinded to make it homogeneous or it has ...

Main Components of X-ray Spectrometers
This chapter discusses the main components of a XRF spectrometer oriented but not limited for μ-XRF. For the excitation the different possibilities for excitation—by electrons are photons—are compared and the ...

Chapter
Quantification
For quantification in μ-XRF special conditions has to be taken into account because the analyzed material typically is non-homogeneous—in the sample surface or normal to that, i.e. the sample has a layered str...

Relations to Other Analytical Methods
There are several other analytical methods available that allow the determination of elemental or structural composition—also as micro-analytical methods for small sample volumes. The detailed discussion of μ-...

Special Requirements for μ-XRF
This chapter starts with a short overview for the development of instrumentation for position sensitive X-ray analysis. Then the different possibilities for a position sensitive measurement are introduced and ...

Chapter
Applications
Because μ-XRF is still a relatively new method, continuously new applications are developed. The method is already used for a wide range of different purposes but its high flexibility offers continuously the p...
