The Use Of Full‐Field XRF For Simultaneous Elemental Mapping

The characteristics of a Full‐Field X‐ray Fluorescence (FF‐XRF) set‐up for element‐specific imaging, installed at the HASYLAB synchrotron radiation source, were determined. A lateral resolution of 10 μm and limits of detection in the percentage range were found. Further potential developments in CCDs available for FF‐XRF are discussed and the use of polycapillary lenses as image transfer optics is illustrated in some explorative experiments.
