Quantitative X-ray SpectrometryQuantitative X-ray spectrometry is a practical, up-to-date reference for scientists and technicians who use X-ray spectrometry as a primary analytical tool. This book presents all the methods and practices commonly employed in the field of X-ray spectrometry - from the basic principles to the selection of instrument parameters and sample preparation. It is the only book of its kind to cover wavelength- and endergy-dispersive spectrometers in detail and to compare and contrast their features. |
