| ABSTRACT: |
The X-ray Fluorescence Microscopy beamline at the Australian Synchrotron
is a hard X-ray micro-nanoprobe operating at incident energies from 4 to
25 keV. The main mode of operation of the beamline is 2D elemental
mapping, with the 3D techniques of XANES imaging and X-ray Fluorescence
tomography extending the capabilities of the beamline. Rapid collection
of XFM data is enabled by the unique Maia detector system, which
utilises a large, 384-element detector array, continuous “on-the-fly”
scanning and event-by-event processing to achieve high data rates,
essentially zero overheads and short transit times. The beamline has
applications to a wide range of scientific fields, from biological,
biomedical and life sciences, though to environmental and geological
applications, as well as large-scale investigations of artworks and
cultural heritage. This seminar will provide an overview of the beamline
as well as examples of research conducted using this facility.
