Notes:
The use of peak-to-background ratios has been suggested for the analysis of particles or rough surfaces as the peak-to-background ratio is assumed to be independent of geometry. The validity of this assumption is examined for flat specimens. It is shown that the peak-to-background ratio does not vary much with sample orientation but does vary with voltage, tending to a limit at high voltages. Methods of analysis using the peak-to-background ratio are proposed and the effects of fluorescence are discussed.
