Trace element characterization using a synchrotron radiation X-ray microprobe.

ID22: a multitechnique hard X-ray microprobe beamline at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility.

The ID22 beamline is dedicated to hard X-ray microanalysis allowing the combination of fluorescence, spectroscopy, diffraction and tomography techniques in a wide energy range from 6 to 70 keV. The recent installation of an in-vacuum undulator, a new sample stage and the adaptation of various focusing optics has contributed to a great improvement in the capabilities of the beamline, which is no...

Major-element ratios in synthetic fluid inclusions by synchrotron X-ray fluorescence microprobe

Individual fluid inclusions in quartz were investigated by synchrotron radiation X-ray fluorescence (SXRF) microprobe to develop protocols for major-element microanalysis. Studies were conducted of synthetic fluid inclusions in Brazilian quartz that contain fluids of known NaC1-CaC12-H20 and KCI-H20 compositions. Inclusions were irradiated by synchrotron X-rays and the resulting energy-dispersi...

Contemporary X-ray electron-density studies using synchrotron radiation

Synchrotron radiation has many compelling advantages over conventional radiation sources in the measurement of accurate Bragg diffraction data. The variable photon energy and much higher flux may help to minimize critical systematic effects such as absorption, extinction and anomalous scattering. Based on a survey of selected published results from the last decade, the benefits of using synchro...
