X-ray Analysis

Innov-X Corporate Profile (PDF)

Spectroscopy previews products and sessions for attendees to see and participate in at the 54th Annual Denver X-Ray Conference, to be held August 1–5 in Colorado Springs, CO.

Using MXRF, researchers have developed a novel method that detects fingerprints through the salts that are excreted in sweat.

In this study X-ray absorption was used to determine the effect of pH on the coordination of lead to humin and sphagnum peat moss. The authors determined the oxidation state and the coordination of lead to both humin and sphagnum peat moss using X-ray near edge structure and extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy. In addition, inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy was used to determine the amount of lead bound to the humin and sphagnum peat moss in the pH range 2–6.

The Spectroscopy staff presents a sampling of new product introductions that you can expect to see at the show, as well as a summary of special session topics and workshop content.

This article provides a brief overview of some of the latest spectroscopy-related equipment and supplies scheduled to be introduced at the 2003 Denver X-ray Conference at the Denver Marriott Tech Center Hotel in Denver, Colorado, August 4?8, 2003.

The x-ray energy spectrum provides rapid identification of mineral samples.
