Abstract

A procedure for making quantitative X-ray analysis of thin foils in scanning transmission electron microscopes (STEM) is described. The technique predicts correction parameters based on the thickness of the foil, the specimen geometry and electron microscope instrumental variables. It is shown that absorption can play an important role in nickel based alloy specimens even at foil thicknesses of around 1000 A.
