XRF nondestructive sample analysis is very convenient when applied to samples that should not be altered, for example, works of art or archeological pieces. When one has various similar samples of this characteristic, a good sample comparison method is necessary. There are various comparison methods among which the three component graphic representation allows a comparison in a throe element component. In an XRF analysis, a large number of peaks, representing emissions from K and L lines normally appear. When a well calibrated spectrum is provided, the determination of the elements in the samples is relatively simple. However, accuracy is difficult to acheive when results from many samples are to be compared.

Investigations which require electron microscope examination of a few specific areas of non-homogeneous tissues make random sampling of small blocks an inefficient and unrewarding procedure. Therefore, several investigators have devised methods which allow obtaining sample blocks for electron microscopy from region of tissue previously identified by light microscopy of present here techniques which make possible: 1) sampling tissue for electron microscopy from selected areas previously identified by light microscopy of relatively large pieces of tissue; 2) dehydration and embedding large numbers of individually identified blocks while keeping each one separate; 3) a new method of maintaining specific orientation of blocks during embedding; 4) special light microscopic staining or fluorescent procedures and electron microscopy on immediately adjacent small areas of tissue.
