| TYPE |
|
| DESCRIPTION |
The Mars 2020 Perseverance Rover Planetary Instrument for X-ray Lithochemistry (PIXL) uses microfocus X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy to measure abundances and sub-millimeter-scale distribution of elements in relation to rock and soil texture and microstructure. PIXL includes a Micro-Context Camera (MCC) to register element distributions to visual features.
