These capabilities have been extended in recent years by the continuing development of solid state detectors, surface mounted electronics, digital signal processing technology, Li-ion batteries combined with a choice of rugged sealed radioisotope sources or miniature X-ray tubes that provide lightweight hand-held devices. As well as opening up new applications, in situ measurements by PXRF, where the instrument is placed in direct contact with the objectX-ray spectroscopyX-ray photoelectron spectroscopyX-ray spectroscopy.X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.543.62Potts P.
