BA78: an improved Bence-Albee analysis program for Tracor Northern Systems

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6429402

BA78 is a program for the quantitative reduction of x-ray data collected from oxide samples. BA78 uses the Bence--Albee correction procedures and is coded in FLEXTRAN for use on Tracor Northern automated electron microprobes and scanning electron microscopes. It can be used in a stand-alone mode or under XML or TASK78 control. Features include stoichiometry and statistical calculations, storage of results on tape or disk, recall of correction matrices for up to 35 elements, and calculation of working-standard correction factors.
