X-ray fluorescence: Current trends and future scope

Abstract

X-ray fluorescence is a non-destructive research technique, which is used to assess a material's chemical composition. Many early X-ray fluorescence imaging (XFI) research projects in live systems have used plants. Early XFI studies allowed plants to be impervious to radiation harm from the X-ray beam, although the plants are interesting themselves, and so can often be seen in working order. Metal forming nanoparticles and clusters are important scaffolds in the evolving nanomedical sector in therapeutic as well as diagnostic applications. Fluorescent metal ion specimens are molecules which are precisely manufactured for the interaction of metal ions with a certain level of discernment. This method has significant advantages, with the comfort of optical microscopy as well as the speed with which a pictured can be obtained. FTIR Spectroscopy offers rich and non-destructive biologic data for the use of a suitable substrate and can be achieved on the same model as XFI tests. � 2022 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
