Welcome to the XFM beamline

The X-ray fluorescence microscopy beamline (XFM) is a hard X-ray beamline at the Australian Synchrotron and specializes in the spatially resolved detection of elements at the micrometre length scale, XANES imaging, large area elemental mapping and ptychography. 

The Table of Contents is on the left pane.

New to XRF?

You can download the useful "Theory of XRF" booklet from Panalytical as a start (requires registration).  It focuses on laboratory-based X-ray sources, rather than synchrotron.  Searching around the internet will likely turn up a copy without registering.
