Abstract

A number of different X-ray fluorescence instruments are in routine use:

(i) Crystal dispersion, tube excitation, sequential counting. (ii) Crystal dispersion, tube excitation, simultaneous counting. (iii) Crystal dispersion, electron excitation. (iv) Non-dispersive, Ross filter, radioisotope excitation. (v) Non-dispersive, semi-conductor detector.

Types (i) and (ii) are used in laboratories throughout the world and unless otherwise stated, any reference in this chapter will assume instruments of type (i). Instruments of type (iv) are also widely used but are rather more limited in their scope and tend to be used for well-defined applications. Type (iv) instruments may also be obtained as portable monitors and are used in prospecting, mining and on-line mineral dressing applications. Instruments of types (iii) and (v) are available commercially but have found few applications in the analysis of materials containing tin.
