Peakaboo is a platform for the analysis of full spectrum synchrotron X-ray fluorescence (XRF) map data. It offers robust, automated fitting of XRF spectral peaks, increasing the sensitivity to trace chemical elements. Large arrays of spectral data can also be processed into element maps to define spatial relationships. The modifications to Peakaboo introduced since 2017 are particularly designed to help new users to become rapidly competent in the handling of complex XRF spectra. Some of the most important innovations of the software are described below. Finally, we share examples of its application in Earth and Environmental Sciences.
