Empirical MACs

This menu allows the user to selectively load empirical MACs (mass absorption coefficients) from a supplied ASCII file. These MACs are loaded from the EMPMAC.DAT file in the Probe for EPMA directory.

 

See the documentation or help section under Probe for EPMA Menu Details for further information on using this feature.

 

The selections made here will be reflected in the calculation of ZAF correction factors and k-ratios in the Standard program. This may be used to determine the effect of various mass absorption coefficients on the correction factors for the standard compositions.
