The utilization and multidisciplinary relevance of X-ray spectroscopy

The utilization of technological applications based on scientific principles in X-rays for a long time were only used as medical diagnostic tools. However, X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy has been shown to have a high multidisciplinary relevance in many research fields such as; Meteoritc, chemistry, biology, environment, geosciences, archeometry and materials science. We seek to provide a selective synthesis of the recent works, demonstrating a wide range of issues which can be harnessed productively mainly because of its characteristic of being a non-destructive technique. Finally, here will be discusses the possibilities of applications and the specific advantages of X-ray fluorescence
