6a 
In case of the automatic quantification the results 
will be displayed immediately in the corresponding 
tables. The Result tab shows the results for the 
highlighted spectrum. The table below the spectra 
shows the results for all spectra. 
In case of the interactive quantification the screen 
for element settings will be opened.  
The tab Result will display the quantification 
results.  
 
6b  The tab Spectra shows the original spectrum, the 
calculated background spectrum , the fitted single 
element spectra, and the sum. This allows the 
identification of missed elements (e.g. Fe at the 
marked cursor position at 6.396 keV) which could 
be immediately included into the quantification 
using the periodic table on the right hand of the 
spectrum. 
 
7.7.2 Quantification of distribution measurements 
Spectra measured in single pixels of distribution measurements (LineScan, Mapping) contain all 
information for quantification. The quantification can be done by the described procedures for 
single points (see 7.7.1). Due to the very short measurement time per pixel as well as the large 
number of pixels, in particular for mappings which would require a long calculation time, the 
mapping pixels can be binned for quantification.
