Short course:
HH XRF and art.
- Interpretation of spectra from inhomogeneous and layered structures
Course leader: Elena Platania
The course is aimed at users of HH-XRF (Hand Held-XRF), and will in particular address the issue of interpretation of X-ray spectra where the measurements are performed on layered and non-homogeneous samples, as is the case when examining art and cultural history artefacts.
Short course:
Introduction to XRF
- HH-XRF & EDXRF & WDXRF
- Comparison other techniques
XRF strategy
- intensity to concentration
Important in XRF
- Analysis depth
- Line overlap
- Blanks/Background/Scatter
History
Safety
Couse leader: Bertil Magnusson
The course is aimed at beginners in the field. The course will cover a general introduction to XRF and the strategy when using XRF for new samples. Important issues in XRF will be covered such as analytical depth, line overlaps, blanks/background scatter and calibration strategy. A short history will also be presented and finally the safety issues with XRF instrument will be discussed.
First chapters are available on-line and after registration to the course the full book will be available.
