Abstract
Lack of appropriate standards frequently forces the analyst to use elemental standards. The usefulness of correction models is limited by the accuracy to which the input parameters are known. Uncertainties in presumably known quantities (mass absorption coefficients, fluorescence yield, mean ionization potentials, etc.) are in many cases the limiting factors. The resulting analytical errors can be minimized by judicious choice of experimental conditions. This paper will give examples involving the corrections for absorption, fluorescence by characteristic lines, and atomic number effects.
