摘要：
Monte Carlo simulations have been used to obtain new results that aid in the microanalysis of sample types frequently encountered in practical analytical situations such as rough surfaces and embedded inclusions. It is shown that the hypothesis that the peak to background is constant on a rough surface is not always true, especially for x-ray lines of low energy and that the peak to background ratio is very sensitive to the electron probe diameter. It is also shown that for embedded inclusions that the shape of the ϕ(z) curves differs significantly from the ϕ(z) curves of bulk homogeneous materials.
