After examining the main factors which govern the potential applications of X-ray fluorescent analysis, the author outlines the principal discoveries in the field of X-ray spectroscopy. Results are presented of the 10-yr Naval Research Laboratory Programme (1965–1975) which had been established for data acquisition and interpretation based on the expected advances in computer capabilities. Some of the factors which may influence X-ray analysis in the future are also considered.
