The invention relates to a device for X-ray fluorescence analysis wherein X-radiation of an X-ray source is directed upon a sample arranged on a sample carrier, and the fluorescence radiation is measured by a detector. On that occasion, the detection sensitivity, in particular, with respect to the total reflection X-ray fluorescence (TXRF) is to be increased for the most different samples. In order to solve this problem the sample to be analysed is placed on a multi-layer system, or a fluidic sample flows over such a multi-layer system. The multi-layer system consists of at least two or several individual layers which are arranged in a periodically repeating manner. Adjacent individual layers consist of materials having a different x-ray optical refractive index wherein the period thickness d in the multi-layer system and the angle of incidence theta of the X-radiation meet the BRAGG relationship at the used wavelength lambd of X-radiation. |
