3D chemical mapping with confocal X-ray fluorescence spectro-microscopy

Dr. B. Kanngießer (Technische Universität Berlin, Germany) and her colleagues have recently reported further advances in 3D chemical mapping using a confocal X-ray fluorescence setup. The research group has obtained nondestructive reconstruction of stratified systems with constant elemental composition but with varying chemical compounds.
