In archaeometry, for example, it is used for material identification and provides information on which chemical elements or compounds the analysed material consists of. This allows findings to be derived regarding questions of origin and authenticity, technical processes or object genesis in general. Comparisons with analyses of other objects and samples allow further conclusions to be drawn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The analyses may require sampling and preparation (drilling, removal of weathering crusts or corrosion, grinding, mineral separation, preparation of sections). Alternatively, they can be carried out minimally invasively using <a href=\"https:\/\/ceza.de\/english\/cezapedia\/methods\/laser-ablation-icp-ms\">laser ablation<\/a> or non-destructively. Depending on the issue at hand and the nature of the objects and samples, different devices and examination methods are used for the analyses, which measure from the main to the ultra-trace element range. The CEZA has various <a href=\"https:\/\/ceza.de\/english\/cezapedia\/methods\/x-ray-fluorescence-analysis\">X-ray fluorescence spectrometers<\/a> (main constituents up to the \u00b5g\/g range), <a href=\"https:\/\/ceza.de\/english\/cezapedia\/infrastructure\/helium-mass-spectrometer\">mass spectrometers<\/a> (ng\/g and pg\/g range), a <a href=\"https:\/\/ceza.de\/english\/cezapedia\/methods\/neutron-activation-analysis\">neutron activation analysis<\/a> (main constituents up to the \u00b5g\/g range) and a <a href=\"https:\/\/ceza.de\/english\/cezapedia\/methods\/scanning-electron-microscopy-with-x-ray-micro-analysis\">scanning electron microscope<\/a> (main and secondary constituents). Phase analyses using an X-ray diffractometer are also possible.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/ceza.de\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/CEZA_0919-Materialanalysen.webp\" alt=\"Materialanalysen\" class=\"wp-image-562\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ceza.de\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/CEZA_0919-Materialanalysen.webp 1200w, https:\/\/ceza.de\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/CEZA_0919-Materialanalysen-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/ceza.de\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/CEZA_0919-Materialanalysen-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/ceza.de\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/CEZA_0919-Materialanalysen-1024x683.webp 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"bg-ceza-900 has-background\">Do you need further information or do you have any questions?<br>Please feel free to <a href=\"https:\/\/ceza.de\/english\/enquiry\">contact<\/a> us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Material analysis is the basis for answering a wide range of questions.
