Preferred Label : spectrometry, x-ray emission;
MeSH definition : The spectrometric analysis of fluorescent X-RAYS, i.e. X-rays emitted after bombarding
matter with high energy particles such as PROTONS; ELECTRONS; or higher energy X-rays.
Identification of ELEMENTS by this technique is based on the specific type of X-rays
that are emitted which are characteristic of the specific elements in the material
being analyzed. The characteristic X-rays are distinguished and/or quantified by either
wavelength dispersive or energy dispersive methods.;
