XRF Gun

[Photobacterium]

How hard is to make a home-made XRF gun?.

Does anyone have the electronic schematics?. :?:

Start out with a search for "X-Ray Tomography".

The basic idea for making X-Rays - fire an electron beam (1 MeV) at a tungsten target.

Stand back ... and wear a lead-lined cup to protect the protoplasm.

Then you just have to figure out how different metal samples produce different signatures.

Many years of engineering later ...

Photobacterium,
I like how you take a tough question and make it sound so simple.
