Trace element analysis
Description
Trace element analysis by neutron activation, PIXE and x-ray fluorimetry as applied to biological research is reviewed. A survey of the theory, apparatus, sample preparation and applicability of each method is given. Comparisons are made of the sensitivities obtainable with the different methods as well as between energy dispersive and wavelength dispersive detection systems as used for microanalysis in the electron microscope. Multivariate statistical methods are recommended for the analysis of multielemental data. Two methods, briefly discussed, are Non-Linear Mapping and the Minimal Spanning Tree
