        "abstract": "Progress on the design and development of an\nelectronic x-ray microprobe for quantitative\nand qualitative composition measurements of\nabout 1 cubic micron of the surface of metals\nand alloys is described in this report. The\nprinciple is that first used by Castaing, in\nwhich the metal is subjected to bombardment\nby a finely focused probe of electrons and the\nelements present and their proportions are\ndetermined by an analysis of the frequency and\nintensity of the characteristic x-rays emitted.\nWith the first model of the instrument, it will\nbe possible to study the elements in the ranges\nof atomic numbers 19 through 34 and 50 through\n84. This report omits any theoretical treatment\nof the effects of heat generated in the sample,\nfluorescence radiation, or a detailed discussion\nof the corrections that must be made. These\nmatters will be considered in a later report.",
