Resumo

This scientific note outlines the design, components, radiological protection, and operation of a cost-effective X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometer produced inhouse. Priced at approximately half that of other commercial models, this spectrometer delivers comparable performance, as demonstrated in a case study involving agricultural soil samples. The document guides researchers interested in constructing their own devices using readily available components, thereby allowing for customized setups tailored to specific applications. The objective is to encourage the adoption and automation of XRF spectrometry within the Soil Science and Agronomic Engineering community, thereby enhancing its utility as a rapid and environmentally friendly tool for monitoring agricultural samples, including those collected from hybrid and/or mobile laboratories.
