X-Ray Fluorescence: In X-Ray fluorescent analysis the specimen is bombarded by high energy electrons or x-rays. The energy carried by these particles is partly transferred to the atoms of the specimen. In a portion of these interactions the energy is released as another x-ray. THE ENERGIES (wavelengths) OF THESE SECONDARY EMITTED X-RAYS ARE DISTINCT AND UNIQUE TO THE ELEMENTS AND ATOMS WHICH FLUORESCED THEM. Thus a spectral "FINGERPRINT"is calculated by the computer for the specimen or tissue examined.
