Public workshop: Exploration of Microscopic World of Artifacts - XRF and SEM-EDS

This practical workshop will be led by Prof. Lam Weng Cheong from the Chinese University of Hong Kong. During the workshop, participants will learn about how archaeologists examine chemical compositions of ancient artefacts through different analytical techniques, specifically X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) and Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS).
The workshop consists of a one-hour lecture and follows by a two-hour demonstration session.

We welcome participants of any background to join, no prior experience in physics and/or chemistry is necessary.
