Extract

Recent, state of the art, x-ray spectrometers have made use of polarizing the source x-rays by scattering through 90° (1) . One then observes the analyte fluorescence in a direction perpendicular to the scattering plane in which the polarized x-rays are generated. The signal/noise ratio at the detector is much improved. Unfortunately there is a concomitant loss of intensity and analysis times increase. This adversely affects the minimum detection limits.
