Electron probe microanalysis, associated with electron microscopy, of thin foils of gold-silver alloys has been made using thin fods of pure elements as standards.Theoretical bases are discussed. Specimens and standards were prepared by vaporization in vacuum and their thickness accurately measured. The anomalous emission effect does not seem to introduce errors in these experiments.
