Popis:	A new hand-portable, microprocessor-based, multielement X-ray fluorescence analyzer is described. The instrument is light in weight (19 1b), completely self-contained and powered by internal rechargeable batteries. The detector is a special proportional counter whose room temperature energy resolution is sufficient to enable adjacent element X-rays to be deconvoluted with the help of the microprocessor. The instrument yields concentration readout of elements, corrected for matrix effects, in groups of four at a time. A number of field and laboratory applications to ore, solution and alloy analysis are described.
