Abstract

Ultrathin sections of dentine and CaHPO 4 crystals were measured by X-ray microanalysis in order to test the feasibility of using microcrystal standards for quantitative analysis. Care must be taken if absolute weight percentages are to be calculated after Hall's thin film model, since large uncertainties may arise during determination of background counts, whereas relative weight or atomic ratios provide good results.
