X-ray spectroscopy is a research method that includes several spectroscopy methods. X-rays (λ=0.01-10nm) are used in these spectroscopy methods. As a result of the interaction of X-rays and the sample, it is possible to obtain elemental composition, qualitative, quantitative, crystallographic and other types of information about the substance. X-ray spectroscopy includes: energy dispersive spectroscopy, wavelength dispersive spectroscopy, X-ray fluorescence, absorption, diffraction and other types of spectroscopies. X-ray spectroscopy is a widely used method that is actively used in research in chemistry, physics, biology, geology, mineralogy, materials science, ecology, medicine and various other disciplines. Depending on the diversity of the analyzed sample, X-ray spectroscopy can be used for a wide range of substances, both for metals and ceramic materials, as well as for biological samples. All these factors ensure wide exploitation of spectroscopy both for research-scientific as well as industrial and production purposes.
