What is XRF Technology?
Understanding X-Ray Fluorescence Analysis
X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) is a non-destructive analytical technique used to determine the elemental composition of materials.
How XRF Works
- The analyzer emits X-rays toward the sample.
- Elements within the sample become excited.
- Secondary fluorescent X-rays are generated.
- The detector measures emitted energy levels.
- Software calculates elemental concentrations.
