Abstract

An apparatus for the analysis of a solution by X-ray fluorescence. This apparatus includes means (12, 14) for the excitation and analysis of the solution, means (4) for receiving the solution and an element (6) integral with the receiving means and positioned opposite an area of the receiving means which is transparent to the X-radiation, the element when it is excited, emitting an X-radiation distinct from that emitted by the solution, which allows any measurement drift that is liable to occur to be corrected during the analysis. Application to the analysis of solutions containing actinides.
