MeSH Heading: Electron Probe Microanalysis
Tree Number(s): E01.370.350.515.402.250; E05.196.867.800.360; E05.595.402.250; E05.799.830.360
Unique ID: D004577
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D004577
Scope Note: Identification and measurement of ELEMENTS and their location based on the fact that X-RAYS emitted by an element excited by an electron beam have a wavelength characteristic of that element and an intensity related to its concentration. It is performed with an electron microscope fitted with an x-ray spectrometer, in scanning or transmission mode.
