Handheld XRF in Cultural Heritage: A Practical Workbook for Conservators.

Anikó Bezur, Lynn Lee, Maggi Loubser, and Karen Trentelman, Getty Conservation Institute 2020

In this book, conservators and conservation scientists will learn the fundamentals of X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy and the application of handheld XRF through hands-on, practical exercises. The workbook is designed to be a training tool for those new to the technique and a refresher for more experienced users. To gain the most benefit, readers are encouraged to use the workbook initially as a tool for self-guided learning, and subsequently as an ongoing reference source. This workbook is the result of collaboration between the Getty Conservation Institute and Yale’s Institute for the Preservation of Cultural Heritage.
