Inhaltsangabe

In 1972 the Denver X-Ray Conference theme emphasized x-ray analysis in environmental~ biomedical~ and forensic applications. The first group of invited papers served to point out relationships between x-ray fluorescence, neutron activation~ and emission or ab­ sorption spectroscopy in these microanalytical applications. It was noticeable that detectabilities are now frequently expressed in nanograms or parts per billion rather than in micrograms or parts per million as a few years ago. Specific examples of x-ray appli­ cation to trace elements in water and air~ biomedical problems in mineralization of bone~ and forensic analysis of automobile paint chips followed in a second invited session. A number of contributed papers carried on the theme of applying x-ray analysis to social type problems. As might be expected~ x-ray fluorescence which has become so useful in the geological and metallurgical fields is al­ ready making its contribution to the social and ecological problem areas. Of course emphasis of a theme was not intended to discourage general diffraction or fluorescence papers~ nor did it. Elabora­ tion of energy dispersion instruments continues with computers to help display and interpret data. X-ray diffraction has begun ap­ plying strong flash x-ray sources to study dynamic situations such as shock Wave compression in solids. Electron spectroscopy, lattice parameter measurements, improved x-ray tubes and spectrometers all helped round out the useful three-day exchange on state-of-the-art x-ray analysis.
