In XRF, X-Rays produced by irradiate the sample. In most of the cases, the source is an X-rays tube but alternatively it could be synchrotron or a radioactive material. The elements present in the sample will emit fluorescent X-ray radiation with discrete energies that are characteristics for these elements. A different energy is equivalent to a different color. By measuring the energies of the radiation emitted by the sample it is possible to determine which elements are present. This step is called Qualitative analysis. By measuring the intensities of the emitted energies it is possible to determine how much of each element is present in the sample. This step is called Quantitative Analysis. Our WD-XRF system can detect elements from Na to U. The concentration range goes from ppm levels to 100%. Generally speaking, elements with high atomic numbers have better detection limits than lighter elements.
