Application of spreadsheet software to X-ray microanalysis

Application of X-ray microanalysis to the study of cell physiology in cells attached to biomaterials.

X-ray microanalysis is commonly applied in biomaterials research to study changes in biomaterial composition, calcifications, or to identify particulates in tissue that has been in contact with biomaterials. Studies where the effect of biomaterials on the naturally occurring elements in the cells are studied are rare. Exposure to or contact with biomaterials may give rise to several cellular re...

X-Ray microanalysis of stratified specimens

This paper presents a description of the state of the art methodology and software for the application of x-ray microanalysis to thin surface layers and more generally to the characterization of stratified specimens. The sensitivity of the technique to near-surface segregation is demonstrated. Some emphasis is given on the eS(pz) function (the distribution in depth of the primary generated x-ra...

X-ray microanalysis attachment for electron microscope.

Fundamental Constants for Quantitative X-ray Microanalysis.

Quantitative X-ray microanalysis requires the use of many fundamental constants related to the interaction of the electron beam with the sample. The current state of our knowledge of such constants in the particular areas of electron stopping power, X-ray ionization cross-sections, X-ray fluorescence yield, and the electron backscattering yield, is examined. It is found that, in every case, the...

scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive x-ray microanalysis of set cem cement after application of different bleaching agents

introduction: the present study evaluated the element distribution in completely set calcium-enriched mixture (cem) cement after application of 35% carbamide peroxide, 40% hydrogen peroxide and sodium perborate as commercial bleaching agents using an energy-dispersive x-ray microanalysis (edx) system. the surface structure was also observed using the scanning electron microscope (sem). methods ...
