HOW DOES XRF WORK?
X-Ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy, uses the refraction pattern of X-rays to determine the elemental composition of complex materials.
Steps:
EXCITATION: The sample material is exposed to X-rays. The X-ray energy is absorbed by lower-orbital electrons, causing them to eject from the atom entirely.
EMISSION: Higher-orbital electrons dump energy to fill in the gap left in the lower orbit.
DETECTION: The fluorescent X-rays emitted by this energy dump is detected by the device detector.
ANALYSIS: Each element has a unique X-ray emission pattern. Our digital signal processors and XRF algorithms work to determine the element ID based on this emitted pattern.
