label: synchrotron radiation X-ray fluorescence spectrometer (en)

description: Measures the elemental composition of a sample by exciting the atoms in the sample with high-energy X-rays, and measuring the energy of the emitted fluorescense X-ray photons, where combination of emission line energies are characteristic for the elements. A synchrotron is used as light source, featuring high illumination over a broad X-ray spectral range. (en)
