Derivation of Elemental Concentrations Maps in a Thin Lamb Bone Sample from a Two-Dimensional Synchrotron-based X-ray Fluorescence Scanning Experiment

Key Points

This research aims to create a computer program that can transform XRF data into maps showing elemental concentrations in lamb bone.
Developed a fast FPM-based computer code.
Applied the code to 2D XRF data from a thin lamb bone sample.
Tested the accuracy and efficiency of the code.
Successfully generated elemental concentration maps for the sample.
Code showed potential for wider application in analyzing biological tissues.

Abstract

A fast FPM-based computer code converting 2D XRF data into ECMs was developed and tested. The code can be applied to investigations of other biological tissues extending the applicability of existing quantitative XRF methods.
