Yet, its undeniable analytical potential in other areas of science has scarcely been tapped. This unique reference, from PIXE specialists in biomedicine, atmospheric science, earth science, and art and archaeology, features a user-based look at PIXE's conceptual basics and methodology, with a view toward new and creative analytical work.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTouching on every facet of PIXE technology, from basic instrumentation, specimens, the characteristics of X-ray spectroscopy, standardization of quantitative analysis, to the accuracy of PIXE analysis and its limits of detection, the book offers an unprecedented look at the newer uses of PIXE in such areas as: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eApplications of macro- and micro-PIXE in medicine, zoology, and botany\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAnalysis of atmospheric aerosols\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGeological and extra-terrestrial material\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAnalysis of gem stones, pottery, glass, and alloys\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAs an exploratory tool for pigments and paintings and \"paper-like\" materials\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eComplete with a comparative look contrasting PIXE with more conventional forms of analysis, this important reference is key to grasping the technique's practical specifics and exploiting its full analytical potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sven A.
