Estimation of the phase distribution in dental amalgam with the electron microprobe

Estimation of the phase distribution in dental amalgam with the electron microprobe

The phase distributions of several dental amalgams have been determined by two methods: calculation from elemental analysis data obtained with the microprobe, and measurement of phase areas on backscattered electron photographs with the image analyzer. The results of these methods agree, in general,...

Description
Summary:The phase distributions of several dental amalgams have been determined by two methods: calculation from elemental analysis data obtained with the microprobe, and measurement of phase areas on backscattered electron photographs with the image analyzer. The results of these methods agree, in general, with the distributions predicted by the stoichiometric equations.
