| Abstract: | Recently, on‐site analysis is being performed in many fields, and the use of compact instruments is required. In this article, we developed a compact x‐ray fluorescence (XRF) probe using a ring‐type secondary target. Employing the ring‐type target, coaxial optical geometry (irradiation and detection) could be achieved. We applied this probe to standard steel materials and standard solutions. In addition, a solid sample in solution was directly measured. As an application of the XRF probe, the monitoring of a chemical reaction was demonstrated that enabled observation of an increase in metallic ions. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. |
