In the analysis of specimens in aqueous media by the method of X-ray fluorescence the measured intensity was found to be strongly affected by the mylar film used to cover the solution specimen increasingly critical absorbance level is observed with decreasing atomic number (increasing wavelength) of the element under examination. The investigation establishes correction coefficients relative to mylar film. An
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
