9、 resolution to minimize the effectsof spectral overlap.In cases where emission line overlap exists,techniques of peak fitting exist for extracting corrected analyteemission line intensities.For example,the PbL“line overlapswith the AsK.”The PbL line can be used to avoid thisoverlap and the AsK lines
10、 can then be resolved from the PbLoverlap.The actual lines used for any particular element shouldbe such that overlaps are minimized.Follow the EDXRFmanufacturers recommendation concerning spectral deconvo-lution.Reference should be made to ASTM Data Series DS 46for detailed information on potential
