XRF Theory & Resources
Learn X-ray fluorescence specroscopy
Since the use of a primary X-ray beam to excite fluorescent radiation from the sample was first proposed by Glocker and Schreiber in 1928, an extensive body of knowledge has been developed for X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy instrumentation, software, and sample preparation.
