Thank you for the very useful other video. My question is, where can we find the related correction factors? Velox software automatically does that correction?
You're welcome; unfortunately, Velox does not offer an option to generate "corrected" maps, only "intensity" (no background subtraction, no peak de-convolution), net, at%, and wt% (which is derived from at%). Since Velox is generating at% maps, it must have tabulated and/or calculated parameters necessary to calculate the associated correction factors for each X-ray peak. Sadly, there is no way to see these correction factors, so the results Velox is producing are somewhat "black box" in nature. If you want to calculate the correction factors yourself, please check out the description of this video I did a while back on quantitative S/TEM-EDS (keeping in mind that the detector efficiency data is unique for every EDS detector): ruclips.net/video/H5HA9K3eRlo/видео.html
