This article presents results from an experimental setup for a dual energy-band vacuum spectrometer for total-reflection X-ray fluorescence analysis allowing simultaneous efficient excitation of low, medium, and high Z elements. The spectrometer is equipped with an air-cooled 35 W low power Rh X-ray tube and a 17 mm2 silicon drift detector with a thin 8 µm beryllium window. A Pd/B4C multilayer monochromator is used at the same time as a Bragg reflector for Rh-Kα radiation and as a high-energy cut-off reflector above 5 keV, where the characteristic Rh-L radiation is totally reflected and present in the spectrum of the exciting radiation. This leaves one broad low energy band below 5 keV and one high energy band around the energy of Rh-Kα. As Rh-L radiation would be absorbed on its path through air, a new beam entrance system was designed in order to guide the Rh-L photons into the vacuum chamber for efficient excitation of low Z elements. With this setup, elements down to sodium (Z = 11, E = 1.04 keV) could be detected. First results are presented, and spectra obtained in air as well as in vacuum are compared and discussed. Detection limits in the range of 1000 µg/kg for Na and around 140 µg/kg for Mg were achieved using the NIST SRM 1640 (trace elements in water).
