Data and Analysis XFM
It is reasonable for inexperienced users to expect the beamline staff to assist with the first-round of the data analysis. This will generally involve using GeoPIXE to fit the fluorescence data.
Please feel free to contact us if you want help to refine your output, once you have a good idea of what you want to display for publication.
Data acquired using the Maia or Vortex detector
X-ray fluorescence data collected at XFM using the Maia and Vortex detectors can be analysed using GeoPIXE software. GeoPIXE has been developed by CSIRO and more information can be obtained from the GeoPIXE web-site.
GeoPIXE Data Analysis Workshop videos
Please visit the Workshop recordings on the Microscopy Group workshop page.
Also see the GeoPIXE help page for more information.
XFM users have free access to analyse their XFM data on GeoPIXE on the Australian Synchrotron’s ASCI computing platform.
