M-family of Characteristic X-Ray Emission

The M family of characteristic X-rays observed by EDS involves Mα(1), Mβ(0.6), Mγ(0.05), Mζ(0.06), and MIINIV(0.01). Different from the K-family, the numbers in the parentheses present approximate relative intensities, since these intensities vary with the over-voltage and with the element in question .
