    Abstract

    Wavelength dispersive spectroscopy (WDS) is a very popular technique for trace element quantification. However, the EM Probe (EPMA) wavelength spectroscopy (WDS) has had few improvements in the detection system over the last 60 years, especially for low-energy x-rays (LEX) [1]. The WDS and the proportional counter (PC) used to measure the x-rays emitted from the samples has provided results that have contributed to significant findings.
