本文介绍了大约在2015年4月至2016年3月期间发表的XRF技术组的进展。仪器部分的基本贡献包括同步辐射源的开发，半导体设计技术和现场手持XRF结果的质量评估。描述了一种用于测量从碳到铀的元素的台式TXRF光谱仪，其可实现的检测限范围从ng g−1到μg g−1。应用部分旨在对使用XRF技术的应用范围进行代表性概述，重点是描述技术或应用创新的论文。调查的样本量从水星到定居阶段藤壶幼虫分泌的纳克数量的水泥不等。今年的考古和文化遗产部分包括一份关于使用大麻作为古代石灰石膏填充物的真实报告，以及令人振奋的消息，即在苏黎世（瑞士）中心建造的地下停车场出土了公元前4000年和公元前3000年的七个新石器时代定居点的遗迹。X射线激发古代铁胆墨水中的铁，是朝着非侵入性阅读易碎和/或未损坏的文件迈出的一步。欢迎读者对本评论提出反馈意见，可通过提供的电子邮件地址与评论协调员联系。
This review describes advances in the XRF group of techniques published approximately between April 2015 and March 2016. Fundamental contributions in the instrumentation sections include the development of synchrotron radiation sources, semiconductor design technology and evaluating the quality of in situ hand-held XRF results. A bench top TXRF spectrometer for the measurement of the elements from carbon to uranium is described that offers achievable detection limits that range from ng g−1 to μg g−1. The applications sections aim to give a representative overview of the range of applications that use XRF techniques with an emphasis on papers that describe technical or application innovation. Sample size investigated ranged from the planet Mercury down to nano-gram quantities of cement secreted by settlement stage barnacle larvae. The archaeological and cultural heritage section this year includes an authentic report on the use of cannabis as a filler in ancient lime plaster and heartening news that the construction of an underground parking garage in the centre of Zurich (Switzerland) unearthed the remains of seven Neolithic settlements from the 4th and 3rd millennium BC. The X-ray excitation of iron present in ancient iron-gall inks was presented as a step toward the non-invasive reading of fragile and/or unopenable documents. Feedback from readers of this review is most welcome and the review coordinator may be contacted using the email address provided.
