X-ray fluorescence tomography is based on the detection of fluorescence x-ray photons produced following x-ray absorption while a specimen is rotated; it provides information on the 3D distribution of selected elements within a sample. One limitation in the quality of sample recovery is the separation of elemental signals due to the finite energy resolution of the detector. Another limitation i...

a new tris-chelate cd(ii) complex, [cd(dadmbtz)3](clo3)2 has been successfully synthesized and characterized by ir, 1h, 13c nmr spectroscopy, elemental analysis and single crystal x-ray determination. the thermal behavior, uv-vis and fluorescence spectra of compound were studied. in reaction with dadmbtz, cadmium (ii) forms a tris-chelate complex with nearly c3 symmetry for coordination polyhed...

in this study chemical method of dissolution-precipitation was applied to produce amorphous silica nanoparticles from rice straw ash (rsa), the waste material of rice cultivation. the morphology, particle size, structure and area of specific surface of synthesized amorphous silica nanoparticles were evaluated using transmission electron microscopy (tem), x-ray diffraction analysis (xrd) and bet...

Trace metals play important roles in normal and in disease-causing biological functions. X-ray fluorescence microscopy reveals trace elements with no dependence on binding affinities (unlike with visible light fluorophores) and with improved sensitivity relative to electron probes. However, X-ray fluorescence is not very sensitive for showing the light elements that comprise the majority of cel...

The energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence analysis (ED-XRFA) is a well-established tool for multielement composition analysis in different fields/1/. It works non-conducting and it is non-destructive. No particular sample preparation is necessary if the specimens have an almost planar and smooth surface. For the characterization of precious gemstone material it is also important that the deposit...

Article Info The aim of this study is to investigate the contents of essential, macro and micro elements by the energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (EDXRF) in different seaweeds (10 red algae, 5 green algae)from collected different regions of Visakhapatnam coast(India). Seaweeds from different estuarine stations were analyzed by X-ray fluorescence, providing results for the concen...

BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to compare the most commonly used GFR markers for clearance measurements, 51Cr-EDTA and iohexol, using two different methods for iohexol analysis, HPLC and X-ray fluorescence, referring both to the multiple-sample and single-sample calculations, using 51Cr-EDTA as the reference method. METHODS Forty-nine patients with an estimated GFR >40 ml/min wer...

XRF (X-ray fluorescence) is a powerful technique for elemental analysis with a high sensitivity. The resolution is presently limited by the size of the primary excitation X-ray beam. A test-bed for confocal-type XRF has been developed to estimate the ultimate lateral resolution which could be reached in chemical mapping using this technique. A polycapillary lens is used to tightly focus the pri...
