Gaseous detectors are being used in the last years to perform studies on the detection of characteristic X-ray lines emitted by elements when excited through external radiation sources. One of the most successful techniques is the Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) analysis. The new generation of micropatterned gaseous detectors (MPGDs), triggered the possibility not only of recording the photon energy, but also of providing position information, extending their application to EDXRF imaging. The relevant features and strategies to be applied in MPGD in order to better fit the requirements for EDXRF imaging, from 2D to 3D, will be discussed, and some application examples will be presented.
