Description

A high sensitive multiple total reflection X-ray fluorescence spectrometer was developed, the design, components and debugging of optics system and spectrum analysis system are focused on in this article, in addition, the results of performance tests are analyzed. The results show that the MDL of instrument can reach 0.1 ng and the RSD (n = 6) is 5%∼16%. The TXRF has been applied to analysis the airborne particulate matter around certain nuclear facilities, the result was satisfactory. (authors)
