In order to perform quantitative X-ray microanalysis many parameters, representing the various stages of X-ray generation and transport through the specimen at the chosen experimental conditions, must be known for all of the elements that might be encountered. Although ideally quantification is done by reference to standards so that only the functional variation of these parameters is required, in current practice it is increasingly necessary to work in situations where standardization is impossible and consequently where absolute magnitudes must be known. The quality and quantity of data that is now available varies widely.
