Introduction
When X-ray radiation from the handheld XRF instruments' X-ray tube (source) excites the atoms in the sample, the atoms release fluorescent X-rays. The energy level of each fluorescent X-ray is characteristic of the element excited. As a result, one can tell what elements are present based on the energies of the X-ray emitted. The Olympus DELTA Premium handheld XRF (pXRF) detects and determines the fluorescent X-ray energies, produced. These energy patterns are characteristic to specific elements and allows for elemental measurements on section halves and discrete samples.
