SUMMARY The quantification of electron energy‐loss spectra requires determination of the partial scattering cross‐sections. For N 45 edges these data are unknown. Therefore, we have determined a set of cross‐section ratios (k‐factors) of N 45 and oxygen K energy‐loss edges for a number of elements between the atomic numbers 56 and 70 using thin‐film standards (oxide compounds), which will enable quantification of these rare earth elements.
