X-ray fluorescence imaging and computed tomography represent a convergent approach that combines elemental sensitivity with high-resolution anatomical imaging. By utilising characteristic secondary ...

What is Scanning X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) Microscopy? Scanning X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) Microscopy is a powerful analytical technique that enables the visualization and quantification of the elemental ...

Flow-assisted corrosion, also termed flow-accelerated corrosion or FAC, has long been a common problem for nuclear and fossil fuel power plants in which steel piping and its components are degraded ...

In this interview, Michael Hull talks about using portable X-ray fluorescence for detecting and quantifying mercury contamination in the field. What are the health and environmental risks associated ...

How can the component elements of an unknown material, such as a meteorite, be determined? X-ray fluorescence analysis can be used to identify an abundance of elements, by irradiating samples with ...

Elemental analysis plays a crucial role in the pharmaceutical industry, allowing scientists to understand a material or compound’s elemental composition. It also provides key information on any ...

Olympus’ new Axon™ technology features enhanced XRF signal processing for accurate, repeatable test results. Axon technology’s use of proprietary ultra-low-noise electronics pushes the boundaries of X ...

Since the 1960s, boron–dipyrromethene dyes, commonly called BODIPY dyes, have been widely used for their strong fluorescence, especially in bioimaging, molecular and ion sensing, and as ...

The copper target was operated at voltages of 11 kV, 12 kV, 13 kV, and 14 kV for the electron source, and a 50 kV configuration using a molybdenum target was used as a representative example for the ...

Researchers at Hokkaido University have engineered a fluorescent dye that keeps glowing even when submerged in superacidic ...
