New Book published with the Royal Society of Chemistry
I'm happy to announce that I and my colleagues have published a new book with the Royal Society of Chemistry: Advances in Portable X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometer: Instrumentation, Application, and Interpretation. You can get a copy via the Royal Society's page, or via other book sellers. The book is divided into three parts for three different audiences: A set of introductory chapters to XRF methodology (Chapters 2 - 5), a set on specific applications ranging from atmosphere to AI (Chapters 6 - 17), and a reference guide we've made open access - it includes a section on each element and its interferences.

This website is designed to serve two functions. The first is to provide guides to using handheld/portable X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) in the non-destructive analysis of objects in situ. The second objective is to give you an idea of the capabilities of this type of analysis.

You can learn to use the software using step-by-step tutorials or video. Manuals for the use of the Tracer can be accessed. Written descriptions of concepts in XRF analysis are organized by topic. You can access Bruce Kaiser’s workshop folder to explore the different applications available as well.

If you have any questions, you can use the contact link to get in touch. I also recommend joining the pXRF for Cultural Heritage group to stay in touch with how people all over the world use XRF non-destructively and in-situ.
