Resumen

Characterization of surfaces in multilayered structures is a requirement in many application areas. Such characterization should be nondestructive, and, in some cases, it must be performed in situ. This is the case of precious Cultural Heritage samples. The use of X-ray fluorescence analysis is currently one of the few solutions. When a large surface must be characterized, a MA-XRF scanning system can also be employed.
