The Effective use of Filters with Direct Excitation of EDXRF
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 March 2019
Abstract
Primary beam transmission filters in energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) analysis are used to shape the spectral output of the X-ray tube. The effective use of these filters allows the optimization of excitation conditions for each different analysis. Filters are used in two basic ways in EDXRF; either as edge filters or as white filters. The proper choice of filter and excitation conditions optimizes the analysis of a particular element or spectral region by shaping the primary radiation to reduce background and to maximize excitation.
