T1 - Standardization and metrology for efficiency and reliability in microbeam analysis - no pain, no gain N2 - Standardization and metrology are two terms which are used rather rarely at major conferences as well as in scientific publications in the field of microbeam analysis. For laboratories operating under an accreditation scheme the operator of the microscope/microprobe must have available internal, national or international written standards which should be applicable to any quantitative analysis. Hence, requirements, specifications, guidelines or characteristics of methods, instruments or samples are provided with the final goal that these can be used consistently. In this way it is ensured that microbeam analyses results are reliable and meet quality-management requirements.
