INTERFERENCE STANDARD
A standard used for the quantitative interference correction in Probe for EPMA. A standard used for the interference correction can also be used for the analytical calibration and need only be analyzed once, although additional interference standardizations can be used in the automatic drift corrections if they are available (this is done automatically if the interference is declared in the Analyze! | Standard Assignments). To use the quantitative interference corrections in Probe for EPMA you must acquire counts on both the interfered element (obviously) and the interfering element. To use a standard as an interference standard, it must contain a known concentration of the interfering element, and it must not contain the interfered element, nor can it contain any other elements that interfere with the interfered element. You can add additional standards to a Probe for EPMA run using the Standard | Add/Remove Standards To/From Run menu.
