It has been said that Laboratory XAFS measurement takes long time due
to weak X-Ray source and that it is not suitable for XANES measurement
due to its poor resolution. However,recently, some improvements and d
evelopments, i. e. highly brilliant X-Ray source, LaB6 cathode, high s
peed counting circuit,engineering workstation etc.have been realizing
competitive performance and measurement circumstances with SR(Synchrot
ron Radiation).
