Popis: | The Mars Science Laboratory’s Alpha Particle X-ray Spectrometer (APXS) performs bulk-chemistry analyses on the surface of Mars. It is capable of quantifying elements Z>10 through its primary mechanisms of X-Ray Fluorescence and Particle Induced X-ray Emission. The APXS is indirectly able to quantify "invisible" light elements with atomic number Z |
