The M4 TORNADO micro-XRF Spectrometer - a Flexible Tool in Forensic Science

Micro-XRF is an established technique in forensic analysis, having been present in many laboratories for more than a decade. The advantages of this technique were immediately recognized- micro-XRF provides a unique ensemble that integrates the multi-element sensitivity of XRF with detection down to trace element levels, large sample accessibility, and spatial resolution down to the micrometer range. This makes micro-XRF one of the most versatile, non-invasive analytical techniques available to the forensic science laboratory.
