Schematic top view of specimens and silicon nitride supporting film window in forward-scattering configuration. The bicolor X-ray nanoprobe is generated by the ucKB mirror. The lower-energy X-rays induce fluorescence from light elements, whereas the higher-energy X-rays induce fluorescence from metals. X-ray fluorescence from the specimens enters the silicon drift detector (SDD). The intensity of the transmitted X-rays is concurrently recorded with the photodiode (PD).
