Synchrotron Data - Etschmann 1004 (Mar 2009) - XANES imaging development using Maia 384

96-channel prototype of the massively parallel Maia detector was tested last year at the NSLS and used to prove the concepts of high throughput fluorescence imaging and full spectral XANES imaging. The aim of this experiment is to use the new 384-channel Maia\r\ndetector to collect full-spectral high-spatial resolution images at a minimum of 50 energy points to generate XANES images of geological materials with applications to mineral processing, mineral exploration, and environmental geochemistry. By enabling for the first time\r\nlarge-scale (thousands to millions of pixels) XANES imaging, this new technique will revolutionize the study of Earth materials.\nLineage: Data was produced using the Maia 96 element detector array prototype on the XFM X-ray microprobe beamline of the Australian Synchrotron and processed using the GeoPIXE software package.\n\n

大规模并行Maia探测器的96通道原型机已于去年于国家同步辐射光源（NSLS）完成测试，验证了高通量荧光成像与全光谱X射线吸收近边结构（X-ray Absorption Near Edge Structure, XANES）成像的技术理念。本实验旨在采用新型384通道Maia探测器，采集至少50个能量点下的全光谱高空间分辨率图像，以生成地质材料的XANES图像，其应用场景涵盖矿物加工、矿产勘查与环境地球化学领域。凭借首次实现大规模（数千至数百万像素）的XANES成像能力，这项新技术将彻底革新地球物质研究领域。
