/noun [mass noun]
The quantitative analysis of chemical compounds using a sample of a few milligrams.We studied the morphological and compositional differences of the fibrous amphibole samples with scanning electron microscopy and with energy dispersive spectroscopy x-ray microanalysis....
- The most common technique is called EDX spectrometry - energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis.
- For that reason the identical apoplastic regions chosen for the LAMMA investigations were also analysed by energy-dispersive X-ray microanalysis.
