What is XRF?

Energy Dispersive X-Ray

Fluorescence Spectrometry (ED-XRF)

Generation of X-rays A source X-ray strikes an inner shell electron. If the

x-ray is at high enough energy (above absorption

edge of element), the inner shell electron is ejected

from the atom.

Higher energy electrons cascade to fill vacancy,

giving off characteristic fluorescent X-rays. A

detection system collects the fluoresced x-rays and

the analyzers software determines content.

For elemental analysis of F (9) to Fm (100)
