Abstract

Among the advantages of the X-ray spectrograph is the economy realised by minimizing the time of analysis. In the past few years automated features have been developed and applied to reduce analysis time further and to minimize operator errors. These have included a programmed goniometer, an automatic crystal changer, a digitized printer or automatic typewriter, and recently an automatic sample loader coupled with a programmer. With this last attachment, unattended analysis of solid metal samples has been achieved. The precision of data obtained automatically compares favorably with similar data obtained manually.
