Chemical composition analysis of apatites and their fluid inclusions from Yu'erya granite was carried out by synchrotron radiation X-ray fluorescence (SRXRF) microprobe. The result shows that all these apatite crystals have a similar chemical signature, with Ca, P, Cl, Mn, Fe, K, S, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Dy, Er, Yb, Lu, Sr, Y, Zr, U, Th, etc. The rare earth elements chondrite-normalized pattern indicates that these apatites are derived from S-type granite. It is shown by the SRXRF analysis that Zn, Cu and Cl are main components of fluid inclusions in apatites. It is the first time that SRXRF analysis is successfully applied in determination of composition of single fluid inclusions in apatite crystals. This technique was proved to be suitable for crystals with homogenously distributing components and thin covering layer would help to determine the composition of fluid inclusions.
