X-ray fluorescence as a non-destructive tool in investigation of Czech fine and applied art objects
Original language description
The paper gives a brief review of possibilities of X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRFA) for investigations in the field of fine and applied arts. XRFA is an excellent tool for such investigations, being a non-destructive and non-invasive method, which can be applied both in a laboratory and in-situ. Its detection threshold for most elements of the periodic system (except the very light elements) is satisfactory for many purposes and materials. On the other hand, it has also some limitations. First of all, it is, strictly speaking, a surface layer analysing method, the depth of this layer depending on energy of both exciting and excited radiation (and, therefore, it depends also on the element, which is detected). And secondly, it is a method sensitive to the content of elements, not to compounds. Therefore, it is often advantageous to use it together with other analytical methods, e.g., Raman spectroscopy. An extensive general review of possibilities of XRFA in the field of cultural heritage was given.
