About this work
The name of the instrument is X-Ray Photoelecton Spectrometer (acronymed XPS); the lab is in the Materials Engineering Branch and aptly titled the X-Ray Photoelectron Spectrometry Lab. XPS is a non-destructive surface analysis technique that provides an elemental composition of the surface. It is capable of detecting any element with the exception of hydrogen and helium. In the picture, I am analyzing a piece of the film that the History Detectives believed was from the Echo II Project.
