As long as the X-ray source can generate sufficiently high energy photons to excite or ionize the core electrons in an element of interest, X-ray fluorescence can be used to measure any element. This is advantageous for robotics applications in mining and geology, where it may be desirable for the robot to detect the presence of previously unexpected elements.
