=================================================================================
We usually refer to specific characteristic X-rays as ‘lines’ because they originally appeared as lines on photographic plates from early spectrometers. Each characteristic X-ray line has a specific wavelength or energy. Table 4675a shows the periodic table with the X-ray lines most commonly used for EDS analysis. From Tables 4675b to 4675e, we can know that there are more peak overlaps between elements or more elements which are not detectable at low accelerating voltages. Table 4675f gives the strongest characteristic K-level, L-level, and M-level emission lines for elements with 3 < Z < 95.
