Correction for the absorption of the X‐rays in aerosol loaded filters can be based on the measurement of the front‐to‐back intensity ratio. Experimental verification that an accurate and precise absorption correction can be obtained is given. The ‘two‐lines’ method based on the accurate measurement of the lead Mα to Lβ intensity ratio in actual samples is used. The distribution of the aerosol in the filter is exponential with a variable gradient.
