Preferred label	Wavelength Dispersive X-ray fluorescense (WD-XRF)
Definition	Wavelength Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (WDXRF) is one of two general types of X-ray Fluorescence instrumentation used for elemental analysis applications. In WDXRF spectrometers, all of the elements in the sample are excited simultaneously. The different energies of the characteristic radiation emitted from the sample are diffracted into different directions by an analyzing crystal or monochrometer (similar to the action of a prism dispersing different colors of visible light into different directions). By placing the detector at a certain angle, the intensity of X-rays with a certain wavelength can be measured.
