instantaneous 2-dimensional analysis of The primary

advantage of X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis is
that it is independent of the chemical bonding of the
elements in the sample. In XRF, the sample is excited
with a primary X-ray beam, causing the sample to
fluorescence.

The primary X-rays eject electrons out of the

inner atomic shells (K-and L-shell). The resulting
vacancy is filled by an electron from an outer atomic

the inner shells of the atom, which are not involved in

chemical bonding. Due to the independency of
chemical bonding, the samples can be analyzed
directly without advanced sample preparation. This
