Abstract

This chapter starts with a short overview for the development of instrumentation for position sensitive X-ray analysis. Then the different possibilities for a position sensitive measurement are introduced and compared in regards to their analytical results but also to their measurement effort. In a next part the commercially available instruments are compared in regards to their main applications and their analytical performance. Finally, the different measurement modes for μ-XRF instruments i.e. single and multiple point measurements as well as one-, two- or even three-dimensional distribution analysis are introduced and the possibilities for the evaluation of two-dimensional analysis are discussed based on measurements of one sample.
