Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy is a widely accepted technique in the research areas of geology, metals, and petrochemical analysis. With the advent of Micro Spot X-ray tubes and optics, ED-XRF based techniques can now be used in areas that require ultra low detection
limits and small spot analysis. In this presentation, Mike Beauchaine will discuss the use of TXRF (Total Reflection X-ray Fluorescence) for trace
elemental analysis using only micrograms of sample for nanoparticles and biological research. He will also present research within materials analysis
using small spot Micro XRF spectroscopy. Lastly, Mike Beauchaine will introduce you to the brand new large scale Micro XRF technology for the
analysis of hidden paintings under famous works of art.
