“…The system has been used at synchrotrons in applications which wish to discern mechanical, structural or chemical information from within thick samples or to determine the chemical composition of samples containing multiple high Z materials which, typically, have closely spaced K-line X-ray emissions. While originally developed for materials science applications [2], [3], the system has been successfully used across a diverse range of fields including pure science [4], [5], solar physics [6], medical imaging [7] and security applications [8]. This article will review the current status of the technology, the performance of the latest system and demonstrates the use of the system on a synchrotron beamline.…”
