Abstract

A prototype X-ray fluorescence (XRF) scanner was developed with the aim of being reliable and portable, best suiting the needs of cultural heritage scientists who constantly face the difficulty of in-situ analysis. The instrument constructed is composed of an exchangeable scanning head (X-ray tube and detector), a motorized x-y stage with a controlling interface and a laptop. With the small stage, it can scan areas up to 20 x 20 cm2 with a lateral resolution of 1 mm. The system can be transported inside a standard airplane cabin trolley and weights no more than 10 Kg.
