XRF Core Scanner

The X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) Core Scanner is a non-destructive analysis system for relatively fast and closely spaced analysis of major and minor elements by scanning the surface of split sediment cores.

The MARUM is equipped with three XRF Scanners (AVAATECH) which measure the entire suite of elements between Aluminium (Al) and Uranium (U).

XRF data show a significantly higher signal-to-noise ratio and a more consistent hole-to-hole agreement than standard core logs.
