Extract

It might seem at first glance that quantitative models relating intensity to concentration should be identical for energy - or wavelength - dispersive fluorescence analysis. In both cases the interelement effects that complicate the use of simple linear calibration curves occur in the specimen, at which time the X-rays are not yet aware of which kind of detector will be used to count them. This can be true in some cases, but not in general.
