AbstractSemiquantitative results are adequate for the satisfactory solution of many problems involving mineral analyses, andfluorescent X-ray spectrography is gaining more recognition as a satisfactory method for performance of these analyses.Successful applications of the method, in various instances are discussed to demonstrate a system involving minimum s am - pie preparation and the use of instrumental factors in establishing multielement calibration curves.

AbstractArt X-ray spectrographic technique requiring no calibration curves is used to determine chlorine, bromine, and lead in automotive combustion deposits. Other elements, such as zinc and barium, can probably be determined by the same X-ray technique. The inert dilution method, described by Sherman in 1957, is employed. Improvements in sample preparation have been made to make the procedure more reliable. Results are calculated by the use of a formula, which is shown to be valid even though sample and standard have composition differences which cause interelement-effect errors if calibration-curve techniques are used. Adequate agreement is obtained between the inert dilution X-ray method and chemical procedures.

Analytical electron microscopy was used to determine the quantitative effects of paraformaldehyde pretreatment on the formation of the biogenic amine-glutaraldehyde-chrome complex. Pretreatment with paraformaldehyde prevented the glutaraldehyde-chrome reaction with norepinephrine in the rat adrenal medulla. In contrast to the effect of paraformaldehyde on norepinephrine, pretreatment did not prevent the chrome reaction in serotonin-containing argentaffin cells of the gut. X-Ray energy spectrographic analysis revealed a significant decrease in chrome content in the paraformaldehyde treated tissue, but sufficient chrome did react to produce an electron-dense product. Thus by treating tissue with paraformaldehyde prior to the glutaraldehyde chrome procedure, serotonergic sites may be differentiated from catecholaminergic areas at the electron microscopic level.
