Comparison of quantitative PIXE and EPMA microanalysis of mineral samples
Abstract
In this paper, we compare the quantitative analyses of some mineral samples by proton microbeam (micro-PIXE) with that of the electron probe microanalysis (EPMA). The advantages and disadvantages of the two techniques for quantitative analyses of mineral samples are discussed. The results of some experiments are presented.
