Application of Confocal 3D Micro-XRF for Solid/Liquid Interface Analysis

X-ray fluorescence imaging with polycapillary X-ray optics

“…Polycapillary optics has been used for focusing the X-rays. There are some detailed studies [8,[17][18][19] about the energy characteristics of polycapillary optics. In addition, in our previous research, [14] it was reported that polycapillary optics have an energy-filtering function.…”

X-ray Energy Dependence of the Properties of the Focused Beams Produced by Polycapillary X-ray Lens

“…27 Also, in the confocal 3D m-XRF analysis using the polycapillary x-ray lens, the depth resolution depends on the energy of the x-ray fluorescence. 28 To improve the study of energy dependence, we reported on an experiment that made use of a cutoff filter. 27 This is an easy and useful method of decreasing and standardizing the size of an x-ray microbeam in laboratory x-ray sources.…”

New developments of X-ray fluorescence imaging techniques in laboratory

“…Compared to other instrumental techniques, micro-XRF offers a unique advantage in that this technique can be applied to solutions at ambient air pressure [41,42]. Chemical reactions such as corrosion and deposition occur on the surface of the solid samples in solution.…”
