Abstract

The choice of analytical techniques for the solution of real analytical problems is governed not only by the characteristics of the individual methods, but also by the alternatives available. The capabilities of some methods of elemental analysis are considered and compared with those of selected techniques based upon sample irradiation with charged particles.
