I show how an X-ray fluorescence gun works, do a teardown and failure analysis, and discuss a new kind of XRF tech now available on eBay. • The XRF data can be transferred from the gun to a PC, and analyzed with http://pymca.sourceforge.net/ I did this for several materials, but ran out of time in this video to show the software usage, which is quite involved. • Good overall description of XRF: https://phys.libretexts.org/Bookshelv... • Electron shell shielding described via roller derby ?! https://courses.lumenlearning.com/che... • XRF supplies: https://www.amptek.com/ • MightyOhm geiger counter: https://mightyohm.com/blog/products/g... • The two XRF guns in this video were generously donated by one of my viewers.
