ICDD Clinic on X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry The International Centre for
Diffraction Data is sponsoring two clinics on X-ray Fluorescence
Spectrometry. Deadline for registration is March 26, 1999. We urge you to
register online at: www.icdd.com/products/clinics/xrf.htm or contact Jeanne
Ginsburg at ginsburg@icdd.com for more information.

1999 Covering basics of X-ray spectra, instrumentation design, methods of
qualitative and quantitative analysis, specimen preparation and applications
for both wavelength and energy dispersive spectrometry.

Course Outline:
Excitation and properties of X-rays
X-ray fluorescence spectrometry
Instrumentation and methods
Detection and intensity measurement
Pulse height selection and analysis
Energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry
Qualitative and semi-quantitative analysis
Quantitative analysis
Use of personal computers for qualitative and quantitative analysis
Specimen preparation
Discussion of examples and problems encountered by participants


Session II - Advanced Methods in X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry - April
26-30, 1999 Emphasizing quantitative methods, use of automated X-ray
spectrometers, review of mathematical matrix correction procedures, and new
developments in XRF. Course Outline: Brief review of fundamentals Properties
of X-rays X-ray spectra Types and sources of errors in X-ray spectrometry
Factors affecting intensity of specimen emission lines Instrumentation for
X-ray spectrometry Counting statistics: precision and accuracy of analysis
