Elementaranalysator
The Elementaranalysator is a generalized analytical instrument designed to determine the elemental composition of materials by measuring signals produced when the elements are excited and translating those signals into quantitative results. It is a broad concept used to describe devices that perform elemental analysis, often integrating multiple excitation and detection technologies.
Typical designs include an excitation source (such as an X-ray tube, electron beam, or laser) paired with
Applications span materials science, geology and mineralogy, environmental monitoring, metallurgy, archaeology, and industrial quality control. The
Operation yields elemental concentrations, detected elements, and associated uncertainties and detection limits. Results are commonly expressed
Limitations include spectral interferences, matrix-dependent sensitivity, and insufficient sensitivity for some light or heavy elements. The
