Projectomschrijving

X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF) is an analytical method for fast and non-destructive elemental analysis of an (archaeological) object. In this project, a mobile X-ray fluorescence spectrometer is achieved, allowing us to investigate archaeological objects, which is of use for different archaemoetrical applications (e.g. provenancing, determination of the production proces, materials identification)
