Researchers develop new method for X-ray colour imaging

Colour images from the shadow of a sample

25-Jan-2023 - A research team at the University of Göttingen has developed a new method to produce X-ray images in colour. In the past, the only way to determine the chemical composition of a sample and the position of its components using X-ray fluorescence analysis was to focus the X-rays and scan the whole ...

Bayesian inference massively cuts time of X-ray fluorescence analysis!

Saved seconds add up to hours over multiple measurements

10-Jan-2023 - How can the component elements of an unknown material, such as a meteorite, be determined? X-ray fluorescence analysis can be used to identify an abundance of elements, by irradiating samples with X-rays and analyzing the spectrum they emit and can detect many elements simultaneously. For this ...

Researchers use ghost imaging to speed up X-ray fluorescence chemical mapping

By eliminating lenses, this advance could benefit a host of applications, including medical imaging, industrial inspection and art analysis

19-Jan-2022 - Researchers have developed a new, focus-free technique for creating chemical maps using x-ray fluorescence. The approach offers fast, high-resolution measurements, which could be useful for analyzing chemical composition for a range of applications in biomedicine, materials science, archeology, ...
