Embracing Uncertainty: Modeling Uncertainty in EPMA - Part I

May 21, 2020
Author(s)
Nicholas Ritchie
This is the first in a series of articles which present a new framework for computing the uncertainty in electron excited X-ray microanalysis measurements. This article will discuss the framework and apply it to a handful of simple but useful sub

Infrared and Raman chemical imaging and spectroscopy at the nanoscale

May 19, 2020
