## Abstract Calcium, sulfur, and zinc content in normal and arthritic equine cartilage have been studied by synchrotron radiationβinduced Xβray emission (SRIXE). Ranging from the superficial to the columnar zone of the normal tissue, calcium and zinc concentrations are increasingly higher, whereas

β¦ Synopsis
Synchrotron radiation-induced x-ray emission (SRIXE) is now a proven analytical method for the determination of trace elements. It is notable for spatial resolutions of less than 10 lm and minimum detection limits that can be as low as 1 ppm by weight. The approach to SRIXE measurements in use at the Brookhaven National Synchrotron Light Source is summarized to illustrate the experimental approach to SRIXE. Application of SRIXE to several di β erent questions are then discussed. The particular examples presented deal with the detection of trace amounts of (1) toxic metals in marine worms, tadpole brains and chick tibia and (2) catalysts in polyoleΓn polymerization particles.

The advent of synchrotron radiation and the recent development of x-ray optics have rendered possible the realization of x-ray fluorescence microprobes. Various arrangements allow one to obtain micrometer-size hard x-ray beams with sufficient flux to undertake elemental mapping of trace elements. As
