MeSH Heading: Spectrometry, X-Ray Emission
Tree Number(s): E05.196.867.800; E05.799.830
Unique ID: D013052
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D013052
Annotation: do not confuse with entry terms at ELECTRON PROBE MICROANALYSIS; do not confuse entry term SPECTROMETRY, X-RAY FLUORESCENCE with SPECTROMETRY, FLUORESCENCE
Scope Note: The spectrometric analysis of fluorescent X-RAYS, i.e. X-rays emitted after bombarding matter with high energy particles such as PROTONS; ELECTRONS; or higher energy X-rays. Identification of ELEMENTS by this technique is based on the specific type of X-rays that are emitted which are characteristic of the specific elements in the material being analyzed. The characteristic X-rays are distinguished and/or quantified by either wavelength dispersive or energy dispersive methods.
Entry Term(s): Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometry; Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy; Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectrometry; Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy; Particle Induced X Ray Emission Spectrometry; Particle-Induced X-Ray Emission Spectrometry; Proton Induced X Ray Emission Spectrometry; Proton-Induced X-Ray Emission Spectrometry; Spectrometry, Particle Induced X Ray Emission; Spectrometry, Particle-Induced X-Ray Emission; Spectrometry, Proton Induced X Ray Emission; Spectrometry, Proton-Induced X-Ray Emission; Spectrometry, X-Ray Fluorescence; Spectrometry, Xray Emission; Wavelength Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometry; Wavelength Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy; Wavelength Dispersive X-Ray Spectrometry; Wavelength Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy; X-Ray Emission Spectrometry; X-Ray Emission Spectroscopy; X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometry; X-Ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy; Xray Emission Spectroscopy
