Abstract
A step improvement in X-ray fluorescence imaging performance is demonstrated through close integration of a large detector array, dedicated data acquisition, stage control and real-time parallel data processing, to achieve efficient elemental imaging with <1 ms per pixel, image sizes in excess of 4 megapixels, full-spectral data collection and spectral deconvolution, at detected photon rates up to 6 M/s, in prototype tests at the NSLS using a 96 detector array. © 2009 IOP Publishing Ltd.
