Figure 1
(a) The fractional error of a transmission signal plotted as a function of optical density, with the curve minimum indicated by a circle at 2.2OD. The left-hand y-scale shows the fractional error in units of [I^{\,-{{1}/{2}}}_{0}], while the right-hand y-scale describes the fractional error as a percentage of the optimum value. (b) A comparison of fractional error curves for a transmission signal (blue), as well as fluorescence signals caused by the photo-excitation of the C, Al and Au K-edges (orange, green and red curves, respectively, assuming a detector solid angle of 0.24 sr), and an example TEY signal (dashed). Shaded regions indicate the effect of the penetration power of the emitted X-rays decreasing by up to tenfold.
