Targeting multi-purpose

A fraction collector and a post-column derivatization system were included (Figure 2.1) for a comprehensive and multi-purpose instrument. However, the fraction collector is needed only when collecting components from the effluent, and is generally not included in an analytical system. The post-column derivatization system is connected only when required for the selective and sensitive detection of specially targeted compounds. Usually, most compounds are directly detected by an on-line spectroscopic or other detector.

Here we briefly show how this novel imaging technique can be used to perform multi-energy X-ray imaging with a comparable spatial resolution. To this purpose, we will show some results obtained from laser irradiation of a target consisting of three metallic layers obtained from galvanic deposition of Cr and Ni on a Fe substrate. The first layer (laser side) was 1.2 pm thick Cr, the middle layer was a 10.9 pm thick Ni, and a third layer (on the rear side) was a 10 pm thick Fe.
