Abstract
Methods of quantitative PIXE analysis of individual particles in the d iameter range between 5 and 10 mum are presented. Two different approa ches to the analysis are considered. In the first case, an analysis is performed with a proton microbeam centered at the middle of the parti cle. In the second case, the beam is scanned over the whole particle. Absorption correction methods were developed for both cases. Advantage s and drawbacks are discussed on the basis of analysis of individual f ly ash particles.
