Ca Calcium XRF


 

Small piece of a broken CaF2 crystal.

Lot of room to the left of the 3.69 keV Ca Ka1 peak. The other peak to the right is Kb1.

Exciter by ~35sec in 10 microampere 25kVp microfocus beam, unfiltered and in STP air.

All the other junk is tube source artifacts.

Yeah, I forgot that I actually see Ca pretty well.? It just does not show up too often in my minerals.? Here is a yttrofluorite: (Ca1-xYx)F2+x

Good on your calcium scan Charles. Here's same CaF2 shard with AmX8 exciter- again the other peaks are from the exciter- This one scan explains my quest for a Source Filter.

PLEASE send the mca files A picture is pretty but allows nothing useful
