Extract

Energy dispensive X-ray spectrometry has been used extensively for the rapid, simultaneous deterninaion of elements in a variety of sample types. Excitation of the analytical sample can be by either X-ray tube, secondary targets, or radioactive isotopic sources. Tube sources have the advantages of convenient control of the excitation conditions, whereas an isotopic source or secondary target must be physically replaced by another to affect an excitation change. The use of primary filters between the sample and X-ray tube can greatly enhance the flexibilitty of the excitation conditions.
