Abstract
A novel imaging low-energy x-ray fluorescence spectrometer with no moving p arts, based on a microchannel plate relay optic and an open electrode charg e-coupled device with good sub-keV quantum efficiency, is described. Result s from a proof of principle experiment using the Rutherford Appleton Labora tory picosecond pulsed laser plasma x-ray source are described and the perf ormance limits of the spectrometer explored.
