Major improvement in energy resolution in the last two years have made the Si(Li) X‐ray energy analysis system a significant tool for X‐ray spectroscopy. Its high detection efficiency, coupled with ability to analyse for all element simultaneously, has led to the development of several new techniques for X‐ray analysis. This article reviews the present state of the technology for this instrument with respect to performance characteristics and operating principles. A brief reference to its more important applications is also included.
