X-ray Fluorescence

X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy allows for rapid detection of the of elemental composition of samples with parts per million accuracy. Elements with atomic numbers greater than or equal to magnesium (12) can be detected. If the composition of the layers in a sample is known, the thickness of those layers can be determined.
