Practical Advice About Crucial Parameters

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Quantitative EPR

Abstract

The focus of Chap. 4 was the selection of operating parameters for recording EPR spectra. Chapter 5 will focus on how the interaction of the sample with the resonator and detection system impacts quantitation. Literature results on the achievable accuracy are discussed along with an explanation of the “tuning” procedure.
