Mapping plant tissue section

Like conventional XRF, the beam size of SRXRF has also been adjusted from macro to micro level, and it is entering the nano-probe age. Meanwhile, SRXRF has the advantages of tunable energy and adjustable beam size, which benefit the detection of some heavy metals with good sensitivity in micro- or even smaller structure. At present, SRXRF has successfully mapped the elemental distribution in plant and animal tissues, even for a single cell, and is closely involved in many flelds such as environment science and life science. In this section, some practical examples will be given to show the applications of SRXRF in the above-mentioned flelds.
