AN X-RAY FLUORESCENCE CAMERA.

Abstract

An x-ray fluorescence camera has been designed as a companion piece to the x-ray powder-diffraction camera. It is possible with this device to detect elements with an atomic number of 19 (potassium) and above. Quantitative determinations may be made using film-transmittance measurements similar to those used in quantitative analysis by powder techniques. The camera case has been constructed in such a way that it can be evacuated. A mechanism has been included which permits the examination of specimens just large enough to give ordinary powder patterns on film. (Author)
