X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF) is one of the most objective and adequate methods for studying the composition of a substance, since it is direct. The object under study is exposed to an exciting effect - it can be a stream of electrons, protons, X-rays or gamma rays with an energy sufficient to transfer the atoms of the sample into an excited state. The excitation energy is such that the transition of atoms to the ground state gives rise to fluorescence in the X-ray range. The spectral composition of this radiation unambiguously corresponds to the elemental composition of the object. Devices for spectral analysis (spectrometers) in one way or another decompose fluorescent radiation into a spectrum, which is investigated and analyzed using a methodological and mathematical apparatus.

The physical foundations of the method were developed in the first half of the 20th century. In the process of the development of the theory and practice of the XRF method, the areas of its application covered almost all aspects of human activity: science, technology, agriculture. It is needed wherever it is required to quickly and accurately determine chemical composition substances. It is also important that the object does not suffer from the effects of X-ray radiation, which made the application of the method indispensable in art history, forensic science, and forensics.

However, despite the high demand for the XRF method, its application for a long time remained accessible only to the laboratories of large and wealthy enterprises and universities. The fact is that almost until the end of the last century, the development of the XRF hardware base followed the path of increasing the power of the spectrum excitation source: an X-ray tube, a radioactive isotope, a linear accelerator, a synchrotron. For example, the weight of only a high-voltage power supply for an X-ray tube with a capacity of several thousand watts (typical power for such devices) was tens and hundreds of kilograms. Such a powerful X-ray flux required reliable biological shielding; the generated heat had to be removed using water cooling. Thus, the spectrometer was a bulky unit, consuming a lot of energy and requiring a separate room, as well as qualified personnel for operation and maintenance. The price of such a device reached many hundreds of thousands of dollars, which, with high operating costs, made the device inaccessible to laboratories of small and medium-sized enterprises. In addition, due to the complexity and high cost, the number of manufactured devices was insufficient to meet the demand.

It is obvious that a fundamentally different approach is needed to introduce the XRF method into broad analytical practice. The new approach is based on the theoretical and experimental work of K. Anisovich and colleagues. The works are devoted to the calculation of the luminosity and energy resolution for the main schemes of crystal-diffraction spectrometers. The results of theoretical calculations, confirmed experimentally, surpassed all expectations. It turned out that with a correctly calculated ratio of the distances between the elements of the circuit, the total luminosity of spectrometers made according to the optimized X-ray optical scheme (the so-called high-aperture scheme) exceeds the total luminosity of traditional spectrometers by 2-3 orders of magnitude. In practice, this meant that an X-ray source hundreds of times less powerful would be sufficient to obtain analytical characteristics comparable to those of the commonly used high-power stationary spectrometers. a tabletop device, devoid of the disadvantages of bulky and expensive installations. It must be said that the correctly selected ratio of the distances and angles of the X-ray optical scheme made it possible to neutralize another drawback of classical crystal-diffraction devices - the strong dependence of the readings on the inaccuracy of the sample setting. But the most important thing is that it has become possible to start the serial production of inexpensive X-ray crystal-diffraction spectrometers available for small laboratories. In 1989 K.V. Anisovich founded and headed the NPO SPECTRON, whose main goal was to meet the huge demand for X-ray spectrometers available to the general public. It is this ambitious requirement - the introduction of RFA into mass analytical practice - that has become the corporate slogan of the enterprise, the idea that governed all its activities, starting with the smallest details.
