  "term": "Wavelength-dispersive X-ray fluorescence analysis",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A method of X-ray fluorescence analysis that separates emitted characteristic X-rays by their wavelength using a diffracting crystal and then detects them individually. This technique provides high spectral resolution, allowing for the precise identification and quantification of elements in a sample. It is particularly effective for resolving overlapping spectral lines from different elements.",
