A method for correcting scattered fluorescent X‐ray radiation arising from contaminants in a target of an X‐ray tube is described. The universal correction factor was obtained by measuring the intensity ratio of a characteristic radiation of an analytical element to a background radiation on a reference standard which contains none of the analytical element. The correction was performed by subtracting the intensity ratio of the reference standard from that of a sample. The method requires no calculation of correcting factors.
