Late spring is the perfect time to plant your coffee tree. You should get your first crop of coffee beans in about 3 years (6 years from seed) but youâll need about 30 plants for enough beans for a daily cup.
X-ray fluorescence is the emission of characteristic secondary X-rays from a material that has been excited by bombarding with high-energy X-rays or gamma rays. The phenomenon is widely used for elemental analysis and chemical analysis, particularly in the investigation of metals, glass, ceramics and building materials, and for research in geochemistry, forensic science, archaeology and art objects such as paintings and murals.
X-rays are a form of electromagnetic energy just light-rays and micro-waves are. X-rays have more energy than light-rays so they can penetrate and travel through materials that light-rays cannot. Film is sensitive to x-rays in the same way that it is to light-rays, so X-rays can be used produce images. X-rays that are sent through an object can produce an image on a piece of film placed on the opposite side of the object.
