Abstract In early 2021, a rare extraterrestrial object passed at high speed, followed by a powerful boom, with a bright flare crossing the atmosphere and falling in Astomulyo Village, Punggur, Central Lampung, Indonesia. This object has been scientifically determining as a meteorite. Toward the spot where we first found it, we presented this object named Astomulyo meteorite. This research investigated its chemical properties using an X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzer. As the result, the major composition of this meteorite is Si (28.3-27.1%), Fe (22.1-19.8%), Mg (17.3-15.2%), Al (2.9-2.4%), Ca (1.7-1.9%), and S (1.0-0.97%). Its minor elements are Mn, Ni, Cr, P, and some trace elements such as Co, Ti, Sb, Sn, V, Cd, Zn. This meteorite suggested classifying as the H-Chondrites group. Fe, Ni, Al, and Ti enrichment occur on the meteorite’s surface. It is probably related to this meteorite origin and continuously processes until it falls to the Earth’s surface.

The alteration of concentration levels for two minor elements (K and Ca) and 7 trace elements (Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, Se, Rb and Pb) in serum and packed blood cells was investigated. The samples originated from 35 patients that had a myocardial infarction and from 29 healthy individuals. The Mn and Pb concentrations were only determined in packed blood cells. Particle-induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) was used to determine the elemental concentrations in the various samples. In blood serum the Fe, Cu and Zn concentrations were found to be altered from normal, while in packed blood cells significant differences were encountered for Ca, Mn, Fe, Cu, Se and Pb. Factor analysis performed on the serum and packed blood cells data matrices revealed one factor for each sample type which allowed distinguishing between healthy and pathological individuals. Furthermore, the elements that permit this discrimination are different for the two data sets. The elements related to this discrimination factor were Fe and Cu for serum and Ca, Mn, Fe, Cu and Zn for packed blood cells.

Abstract Batusatam considers as Billitonite, a rare Australian strewnfield tektite. Regrettably, the scientific information of this object slightly, especially about the origin, the process of formation, and its uniqueness in the earth’s geological history. This paper reviewed the physical and chemical properties of unearthing Batusatam in Southeastern Belitung Island, Indonesia. Physical properties are examing based on object shape, surface texture pattern, dimensions, volume, mass, density, and hardness. We also analyzed major and minor elements using portable X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and compared them with another Australian tektite. Rod and tear-drop-shape, the unique shapes of Batusatam, were discovered. It had a higher FexOy, CaO, MnO proportion. Also, Sn (tin) is present significantly compared to other tektites. This significant uniqueness of Billitonite could clarify its origin, formation process, and role as a geoheritage.

Pixe Method

Particle induced x-ray emission has been used to determine the concentration of trace elements in ants (Formicidae). Scanning PIXE analysis was also used to determine the distribution of these elements. Samples of ants were collected from gardens, buildings or from the roadway in Japan, Finland and Sweden. The only pre-treatments were dusting and washing. In each run of experiments we used only one individual ant and have obtained the analytical results of a reasonable accuracy. We have detected chemical minor elements, i.e., Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, Rb, Br and Sr. The PIXE, and scanning PIXE method proved to be useful and sensitive enough to measure trace elements in such small insects as ants.

As part of the geological investigation of the Ilimaussaq intrusion (Sørensen, 1970; Ferguson, 1964; Andersen, et al., 1973; Sørensen et al., 1974), trace-element analyses have been performed on carefully chosen rock samples. Material was selected on the basis of detailed field mapping and with particular attention paid to its fresh and representative nature; in every case more than 15 kg was obtained by blasting. The samples have aiready been used for the separation of accessory ore minerals and for analysis of fluid inclusions. To date, the rocks have been analysed for trace elements by neutron activation (R.G.) and X-ray fluorescence (J.B.) analysis. Comparisons with earlier analyticai results indicate closest agreement with the work of Gerasimovsky (1969), except for the element Ga where his results are consistently higher. Experiments by Ib Sørensen (GGU Chemical Laboratory) indicate that fused samples yield low totals for many Ilimaussaq rocks; the absorption effects of heavy minor elements (Zr, Nb, REE) on the light major elements will be quantitatively corrected for. Analyses by isotope fluorescence, delayed neutron analysis, X-ray spectrometry and other techniques are in progress.

A relatively new entry, in the field of microscopy, is the Scanning X-Ray Fluorescence Microscope (SXRFM). Using this type of instrument (e.g. Kevex Omicron X-ray Microprobe), one can obtain multiple elemental x-ray images, from the analysis of materials which show heterogeneity. The SXRFM obtains images by collimating an x-ray beam (e.g. 100 μm diameter), and then scanning the sample with a high-speed x-y stage. To speed up the image acquisition, data is acquired "on-the-fly" by slew-scanning the stage along the x-axis, like a TV or SEM scan. To reduce the overhead from "fly-back," the images can be acquired by bi-directional scanning of the x-axis. This results in very little overhead with the re-positioning of the sample stage. The image acquisition rate is dominated by the x-ray acquisition rate. Therefore, the total x-ray image acquisition rate, using the SXRFM, is very comparable to an SEM. Although the x-ray spatial resolution of the SXRFM is worse than an SEM (say 100 vs. 2 μm), there are several other advantages.

To study the influence of trace elements on the corrosion and hydrogen ingress in Zr-2.5 Nb pressure tube material, buttons of this alloy containing up to 0.83 at% Fe were made by arc-melting. The buttons were then annealed at 973 K for three days, furnace cooled, followed by ≈80% cold-rolling. The microstructure of cold-worked Zr-2.5 at% Nb-0.83 at% Fe (Fig. 1) contained both β-Zr and intermetallic precipitates in the α-Zr grains. The particles were 0.1 to 0.7 μm in size, with shapes ranging from spherical to ellipsoidal and often contained faults. β-Zr appeared either roughly spherical or as irregular elongated patches, often extending to several micrometres.The composition of the intermetallic particles seen in Fig. 1 was determined using Van Cappellen’s extrapolation technique for energy dispersive X-ray analysis of thin metal foils. The method was employed to avoid corrections for absorption and fluorescence via the Cliff-Lorimer equation: CA/CB = kAB · IA/IB, where CA and CB are the concentrations by weight of the elements A and B, and IA and IB are the X-ray intensities; kAB is a proportionality factor.

Over the past decades, the combination of energy-dispersive analysis of X-rays and scanning electron microscopy has proved to be a powerful tool for fast and reliable elemental characterization of a large variety of specimens. The technique has evolved rapidly from a purely qualitative characterization method to a reliable quantitative way of analysis. In the last 5 years, an increasing need for automation is observed, whereby energy-dispersive analysers control the beam and stage movement of the scanning electron microscope in order to collect digital X-ray images and perform unattended point analysis over multiple locations.The Philips High-speed Analysis of X-rays system (PHAX-Scan) makes use of the high performance dual-processor structure of the EDAX PV9900 analyser and the databus structure of the Philips series 500 scanning electron microscope to provide a highly automated, user-friendly and extremely fast microanalysis system. The software that runs on the hardware described above was specifically designed to provide the ultimate attainable speed on the system.

A monolithic, polycapillary, x-ray optic was adapted to a laboratory-based x-ray microprobe to evaluate the potential of the optic for x-ray micro fluorescence analysis. The polycapillary was capable of collecting x-rays over a 6 degree angle from a point source and focusing them to a spot approximately 40 µm diameter. The high intensities expected from this capillary should be useful for determining and mapping minor to trace elements in materials. Fig. 1 shows a sketch of the capillary with important dimensions.The microprobe had previously been used with straight and with tapered monocapillaries. Alignment of the monocapillaries with the focal spot was accomplished by electromagnetically scanning the focal spot over the beveled anode. With the polycapillary it was also necessary to manually adjust the distance between the focal spot and the polycapillary.The focal distance and focal spot diameter of the polycapillary were determined from a series of edge scans.
