The method of X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometry, one of the oldest instrumental methods of analysis, dates its origins to the beginning of this century. The method has gone through many significant changes since then, including the advent of field-portable systems 30 years ago. The desire to bri

## X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis is a non-destructive technique widely used in the study of works of art. It can detect elements having atomic number >15 (phosphorus) and supplies only semiquatitative results, yet it can be helpful in a very wide range of applications. The ENEA Unit for the Saf
Various x-ray optical conΓΌgurations combining focusing and monochromatizing mirrors for application in total reΓ½ection x-ray Γ½uorescence (TXRF) spectrometry were numerically modelled for the case of extended x-ray sources. The inΓ½uence of the system parameters, such as mirror shape, the extension of
The constraints placed on the design of portable and planetary X-ray diffraction (XRD) instruments by the limited mass, power and volume budgets are very different, in general, to the constraints applicable to laboratory equipment. A relatively simple angle-dispersive, reflection-mode instrument des
