Analysis Concepts
One significant difference between Probe for EPMA and other microprobe analysis programs is that Probe for EPMA can acquire and analyze all samples, regardless of whether they are standard or unknown samples, in exactly the same manner. This begins with the data acquisition; Probe for EPMA can acquire a complete analysis for every standard sample, just as it would for an unknown sample. In addition all standard, unknown and wavescan (and digitized coordinate) data is stored together in each user’s probe run database so that your calibrations cannot be overwritten by subsequent users. Of course there are several very flexible options for “quick” standardization in which the program will automatically determine which standards are required for acquisition based on standard, interference or background calibration assignments or based on a concentration criterion in the standard.
The concept is much like a laboratory notebook where you have your private lab notes, which are protected from casual or accidental modification. Of course each user can import any standard calibration or sample setup from any run for their own use at any time.
