ABSTRACT:
A portable measurement apparatus is presented for inducing and measuring fluorescent X-ray radiation. It comprises an X-ray source (303, 902, 1005, 1105) adapted to controllably irradiate a sample (301, 803) with X-rays, and a detector (305, 406, 1006, 1106) adapted to detect fluorescent radiation emitted by said sample (301, 803). The X-ray source (303, 902, 1005, 1105) is an X-ray tube, an anode of which comprises at least one of silver, rhodium and molybdenium. Consequently said X-ray tube is adapted to controllably emit L-line radiation of at least one of silver, rhodium and molybdenium.
