Instrument: X-ray fluorescence analyzer

Dataset: 
Cellular element quotas: Si in Synechococcus cells
Instrument: 
X-ray fluorescence analyzer
Instrument Short Name: XRF analyzer
Instrument Description:

Instruments that identify and quantify the elemental constituents of a sample from the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation emitted by the atoms in the sample when excited by X-ray radiation.

PI supplied instrument name: Synchrotron X-ray Fluorescence Microprobe
Dataset-specific description

Abbreviation: SXRF

For this dataset the model used was: Beamline:2-ID-D

The instrument quantifies and maps elements (e.g. Si, Mn, Fe, Ni, S, P) in single cells.

Used in the following paper to look at trace elements in aquatic protists:
