Here we go Charles, your Bassetite sample under XRF via X-Ray tube, shown here in LINEAR representation to give an idea of proportion, +/- sensor efficiency and beam peak energy.
Before anyone runs out and installs a LIXI or any other source like it, keep in mind the safety equipment,? measures and training that must accompany that investment.?
Below is a picture rare picture showing just the tip of the iceberg- an L Block, of which I own and use a dozen, along with?
lead glass plates and bricks up to 2" etc. etc.plus a full sized rolling lead "wall" shield, with lead glass window, not to mention the lead garments, and especially the low energy ion-chamber type X-Ray test equipment. Staying out of the beam is important, but the insidious danger are scattered rays that appear where they would not likely be expected. The lower the energy either being generated, or that is left once a beam is deflected, the more it is absorbed by biologicals.
Specialized beam detectors as used in the counting room.
