Second Project introduction. Analysis of stamps for ink composition and paper for clay content. Introduction to X-ray fluorescence. The same samples will be analyzed using X-ray fluorescence so that the chemical filters in Jade can be used to advantage. You run X-ray fluorescence on the samples.
Class reports on the findings.
Trace component determination. Analysis of air samples for respirable silica. Standard preparation and optimization of conditions. You will construct a calibration curve from prepared standards. Field trip to the Advanced Light Source in Berkeley.
