X- Ray Diffraction

X- ray diffraction is used to identify mineral phases and chemical compounds present in the archaeological artifacts. It can also provide information on the mechanical and thermal treatments to which metal artifacts were subjected during fabrication.

X-ray powder diffraction is most widely used for the identification of unknown crystalline materials (e.g. minerals, inorganic compounds). Determination of unknown solids is critical to studies in geology, environmental science, material science, engineering and biology.

 

 

X- Ray Fluorescence

 X- ray fluorescence is used to identify the elements composing the sample and the concentrations of these elements.

 XRF can be used for a variety of analysis of the environment, including geology, soil surveys, and field analysis.

 

Cost of analysis

XRD 40 JOD per sample.

XRF 20 JOD per sample
