Linked from

The 27 pages that link to X-ray fluorescence, each with the reason it gives.

• Chemical elementRelated: Element-specific X-ray energies make it useful for nondestructive identification.

• Oil paintingRelated: It helps conservators identify pigments in oil paintings without taking samples.

• X-rayRelated: Elements emit distinctive X-rays after an incident beam creates inner-shell vacancies.

• ArchaeometallurgyRelated: It can characterize metal objects and production remains, sometimes without sampling them.

• Elemental analysisRelated: It reads element-specific X-rays, often without consuming the sample.

• Chemical compositionRelated: It measures elemental composition without requiring chemical separation.

• Chlorite groupRelated: Bulk chemical measurements can track chlorite-rich alteration in rocks and drill samples.

• Manne SiegbahnRelated: Characteristic fluorescence lines are measured using spectroscopic methods Siegbahn helped refine.

• PromethiumRelated: Promethium sources have been used to excite samples for portable X-ray fluorescence analysis.

• X-ray detectorRelated: Detectors measure these emitted photons to reveal a sample's elemental composition.

• Potassium oxideRelated: It can quantify potassium in oxide form when reporting bulk material compositions.

• Han van MeegerenRelated: Elemental analysis helped expose pigments in van Meegeren’s paintings that postdated Vermeer.

• ThuliumRelated: Thulium-170 sources can excite fluorescence for compact elemental analysis.

• Astrophysical X-ray sourceRelated: It creates spectral lines that reveal material irradiated by a bright source.

• Atomic techniquesRelated: It reveals elemental composition through X-ray emission rather than visible or ultraviolet light.
