Progress in electron energy loss analysis for biological specimens.
Recent work, both experimental and theoretical has clarified the range of applicability, optimum conditions of operation and limits of detection of the EELS technique. Its chief use is for microanalysis of light elements (Z < 10). For heavier elements, however, it also has an important advantage over X-ray methods in requiring lower electron exposure of the specimen for given signal strength.
