Experimental aspects are discussed briefly. Corrections must be applied to take account of the following effects: absorption of x-rays emerging from the specimen, fluorescence excitation, electron backscattering and the variation of electron stopping power with composition. The physical basis of these effects and practical methods for calculating corrections are described. The special factors applying to the analysis of light elements (atomic number <11) are considered. The important part played by digital computers is discussed. Finally, the analytical accuracy obtainable at present and future developments in both theoretical and practical aspects are considered","PeriodicalId":189909,"journal":{"name":"Reviews of Physics in Technology","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1971-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130088955","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Before 1960, existing applications were restricted to two specialized areas: gyroscopes for inertial navigation and gas circulators in nuclear reactors. Now they are widely employed in manufacturing industry, in grinding machines, drilling machines and hand tools and in a wide range of medical and scientific instruments. This progress has been made possible by the solution of two or three major technical problems and the assimilation of myriad minor advances in structural design, materials and manufacturing techniques.","PeriodicalId":189909,"journal":{"name":"Reviews of Physics in Technology","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1970-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128643908","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
