Scanning energy dispersive X-ray analysis of intraocular foreign material. 1983

J M Weiner, and N Carroll, and E Finkelstein

Energy dispersive X-ray analysis is recognized as a most useful technique in research. Its diagnostic applications are being rapidly developed. We describe a case of corneal, lenticular and retinal damage in an eye without a documented history of trauma. Scanning energy dispersive X-ray analysis of foreign material in the lens helped to elucidate the probable cause of the injury. The medico-legal implications of this case are briefly discussed.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008297	Male		Males
D004577	Electron Probe Microanalysis	Identification and measurement of ELEMENTS and their location based on the fact that X-RAYS emitted by an element excited by an electron beam have a wavelength characteristic of that element and an intensity related to its concentration. It is performed with an electron microscope fitted with an x-ray spectrometer, in scanning or transmission mode.
