Image of The Day caption:
In a few hours, the X-ray fluorescence core scanner, the first of its kind in the United States, takes digital images and X-rays of sediment cores while detecting the presence of any of 80 chemical elements, all without touching the core and disturbing its record.
Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 45, No. 1, Pg. 26:
In a matter of hours, the new WHOI X-ray fluorescence core scanner captures digital photographs and X-ray images of a sediment core, while detecting the presence of any of 80 chemical elements—all without scratching the surface. Traditional methods of analyzing a core can take months and gradually destroy the core.
