A portable XRF analyzer using a silicon drift detector. In energy-dispersive analysis, dispersion and detection are a single operation, as already mentioned above. Proportional counters or various types of solid-state detectors (PIN diode, Si(Li), Ge(Li), silicon drift detector SDD) are used.
XRF offers many advantages. It’s fast and non-destructive, meaning samples remain intact after analysis. It works well for solid materials with minimal preparation, saving time and reducing costs. Handheld XRF devices allow on-site testing, making them useful in industrial and environmental settings.
Schematic of MWD XRF. Monochromatic wavelength dispersive x-ray fluorescence (MWD XRF) is an enhanced version of conventional wavelength-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (WDXRF) elemental analysis. The key difference is that MWD XRF uses a doubly curved crystal X-ray optic between the X-ray source and the sample resulting in monochromatic excitation.
Improvements of the low-energy performance of a micro-focus x-ray source for XRF analysis with the SEM Procop, Mathias; et al. X‐Ray Spectrometry: An International Journal 38.4 (2009): 308-311. A microfocus X-ray source for improved EDS and XRF analysis in the SEM. Procop, Mathias, Vasile-Dan Hodoroaba, and Vanessa Rackwitz.
An X-ray generator generally contains an X-ray tube to produce the X-rays. Possibly, radioisotopes can also be used to generate X-rays. [1]An X-ray tube is a simple vacuum tube that contains a cathode, which directs a stream of electrons into a vacuum, and an anode, which collects the electrons and is made of tungsten to evacuate the heat generated by the collision.
Later NASA developments did lead to an X-ray spectrographic unit that did make the desired moon soil analysis. The Norelco efforts faded but the use of X-ray spectroscopy in units known as XRF instruments continued to grow. With a boost from NASA, units were finally reduced to handheld size and are seeing widespread use.
