In-situ XRF analysis of the Pachacamac Idol with CartiX
In 2018, CartiX was applied to study the polychromy of the Pachamac Idol, with in-situ analysis in the Museum of Pachacamac, Peru (Sepulveda et al., 2020). XRF mapping was carried out at ~100μm spatial resolution placing the instrument at 25mm from the surface of the object and held in a fixed position during the analysis.
