Svensk definition
Påvisande och kvantitativ mätning av grundämnen utifrån det faktum att den röntgenstrålning som avges av ett grundämne som aktiveras av en elektronstråle har en för ämnet karakteristisk våglängd och mängdintensitet. Tekniken kan utnyttjas i elektronmikrosond, mikroanalyselektronmikroskop, eller elektronmikroskop eller svepelektronmikroskop utrustade med röntgenspektrometer.
Engelsk definition
Identification and measurement of ELEMENTS and their location based on the fact that X-RAYS emitted by an element excited by an electron beam have a wavelength characteristic of that element and an intensity related to its concentration. It is performed with an electron microscope fitted with an x-ray spectrometer, in scanning or transmission mode.
