modelling clay


taray singh
 

Hi guys
I sometimes? use? modelling clay as a mount to hold odd shape samples .
This "clay"? is usually made of? ?calcium salts,petroleum jelly and aliphatic? acids.
This xrf is? for a red clay.
The xrf show a prominent calcium peak.
This show si pin detectors can detect Ca clearly
There may some other peaks due to the pigment used
There could be a sinister Pb? peak but the count rates are low

Thanks Taray, good on the calcium, yes it is definitely in the range of a Si-PIN, Usually the peak is cluttered and had to see in dense objects but just the other day there was a sample here that was predominately Ca and it was good to? see that old friend.
