Identifying unknowns using the XRF

I show how I can identify elements that the xrf is not calibrated for, as well as answer a couple other questions.

Can the XRF tell the concentration of Uranium or other radioactive elements in the samples and minerals you have collected in these years?

CodysLab

Yes, plutonium too if I had it. Anything heavier than sodium.

Can it also be used to see if there are some impurities in mercury or the sample must be in a solid state? If it can do this too, wow, that's a really usefull gadget to play with!

Didn’t matter what state it’s in, if I shot it at a balloon of gas it would show up so long as the gas was an element heavier than sodium like xenon.

I know you already tested your YouTube Play Buttons, but you could give it another go with the XRF :)

Hey Cody Can the XRF export the raw data? would love to make a python script, to i dentify the elements in a sample.

Could you test the radioactive elements you have? (If you haven't already posted a video on it).

The lab I send off samples has told me in the past that radioactive elements are detectable but can skew the results. Is that just their machine/software? I had an ore xrf printout with some percentage of something weird like Yttrium (or something else odd for the area). They explained it could be some radioactive elements throwing off the results. My other samples returned what I was expecting (Ti, Fe, Au, Cu etc) so I took their word for it. So yeah can radioactive elements mess with the results? Also doubled my pledge. This video alone was worth it :D

This XF 'thingy' is a great addition to your videos - - very interesting!

Many radioactive isotopes emit among other types of radiation, X-rays of low energy which can confuse the detector.

This is such a great video! It is a little long, but this sort of content is the stuff that can run long, IMO. So informative and interesting.

so if the atmosphere causes issues with smaller/lighter elements can you use this in a vacuum and get more delicate/accurate readings?

always amazing videos cody
