gotcha, thanks for confirming! i was wondering about those above-max peaks. i'll see if i can make my own version in the future. :)

Also it helps if the detector is shielded, except for a little opening pointing towards the material to be analyzed. To minimize stray effects from the background.

2024-03-28 17:13:37 +0000 UTCthats amazing! i was thinking of doing an americium XRF device just like that, looks like he beat me!, lol. But i wonder how he was able to get peaks above the maximum Am energy. Does XRF has some nonlinear effects that allow for getting higher energy signal from the lower energy source?
