I have recorded cross sections of a surface layer on a substrate in a scanning electron microscope (SEM), and took EDX (energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy) linescans across the layer.
These are typically given in counts or cts per second.
Now, I know the average thickness of the layer from SEM and image analysis, and know the total area, so I know the volume, but I need to know how many moles or how many grams of the atoms I deposited I have to get a concentration c = g/cm^3 or c,mol = mol/cm^3. How can I convert the EDX linescans into grams or mols?
Thanks
