摘要:
A sample handling apparatus/technique/method for a material analyzer, which provides active, variable concentration of a sample, using a measurement marker introduced into the sample, to measurably concentrate an analyte in a liquid (e.g., water) sample. Active, variable concentration allows otherwise lower level analytes to be concentrated in a measurable way. This enables measurements at higher (e.g., concentrated) levels, which can be extrapolated to obtain their lower, original levels based on the concentration level—measured using the introduced marker as a guide. The sample handling apparatus may be used in combination with an optic-enabled x-ray analyzer, the x-ray analyzer including an x-ray engine with an x-ray excitation path and an x-ray detection path, usable during both during the concentration and analyte measurement.
摘要:
A measurement line evaluation unit (23): calculates, for all of specified measurement lines, estimated measured intensities by theoretical calculation on the basis of a composition and/or a thickness specified for a thin film; changes, by a predetermined amount, only an estimated measured intensity of one measurement line, and obtains quantitative values of the composition and/or the thickness of the thin film after change of the estimated measured intensity, for each changed measurement line, by a fundamental parameter method; and estimates a quantitative error and/or determines possibility of analysis, on the basis of the obtained quantitative values and the specified composition and/or the specified thickness.

摘要:
An X-ray backscatter indication and detection system (100), including an object (1402) disposed with respect to a target area (1404) targeted by X-rays (1506), such that X-rays (1506) that backscatter from the target area (1404) strike the surface (1910) of the object. The surface (1910) of the object (1402) includes an X-ray sensitive indicator substance (1912) that fluoresces with a visible light (1416) when contacted by backscattered X-rays (1412).
摘要:
The invention relates to a method and a device for determining the distribution of an X-ray fluorescence (XRF) marker (16) in a body volume (14). The body volume (14) is irradiated with a beam of rays (12) from an X-ray source (10) with a first ray component with a quantum energy just above and a second ray component with a quantum energy just below the K-edge of the XRF marker (16). Secondary radiation emitted from the body volume (14) is detected in a location-resolved way by a detector (30). To separate the X-ray fluorescence components in the secondary radiation from background radiation, the body volume is irradiated for a second time with a beam of rays from which the first ray component has been substantially removed by a filter (22) made from the material of the XRF marker.
