| Abstract: | The use of synchrotron radiation for X-ray fluorescence has several advantages over the use of other conventional X-ray sources. The principles of synchrotron radiation and methods for applying synchrotron radiation to the X-ray fluorescence measurements of trace elements are discussed. The Brookhaven National Laboratory X-ray microprobe, facilities dedicated to X-ray fluorescence, and related analytical techniques are discussed. Some examples of trace element analyses in biological materials with synchrotron radiation are presented. |
