A previously described method for correction of PIXE data based on the measurement of proton energy loss, Δ E , and x‐ray transmission factors has been tested on international geological, biological and ore reference materials. After a short review of the sample preparation method and the experimental procedures, the analytical results, precision and accuracy are discussed.
