Quantitative Analysis Data Format
- Typically you will receive 4-5 report for each analysis label. All reports have a .asc extension and are in tab delimited format for importing into spreadsheet programs.
- The reports types are usually:
- full - All available information about standards and calibrations as well as the results, standard errors, etc. for all analyses. Note: beam size is not recorded and should be noted separately by the user during their probe session.
- el - Element concentrations in wt% for all analyses.
- ox - Oxide concentrations in wt% for all analyses. Only available if oxygen was calculated by stoichiometry.
- det - Element concentrations in wt% and CAMECA calculated detection limits (95% probability) for all analyses.
- at - Atomic percent of each element. Note: not recommended as analyses are normalized to 100% introducing some degree of error.
- Other types of analyses (e.g. trace, geo, etc.) will have different style reports.
- Other custom reports are available or can be developed on request.
