The amount of filtration of the x-ray beam is specified by and based on the voltage potential (keV) used to produce the beam. The thickness of filter materials is dependent on atomic numbers, kilovoltage settings, and the desired filtration factor.
X-ray Fluorescence (XRF). A technique used to determine the elemental composition of a specimen by bombarding the material with x-rays. The x-rays excite the atoms in the specimen, causing them to emit x-rays of a longer wavelength. These are detected by the analytical equipment, and on the basis of comparison with known standards, the elemental composition of the specimen is determined.
