Abstract

The x-ray microbeam scanning facility in our laboratory at Chalmers University of Technology/Göteborg University is described in terms of optical and mechanical design, imaging capacity, spatial resolution, and sensitivity. Different types of visualization of the elemental distribution are demonstrated and application of image processing is discussed. Examples of applications in the field of single-particle analysis as well as tree ring analysis are given. Future perspectives of the technique are also discussed.
