* Hello Ellery,

Pure metals are o.k. I'll get back to you with more on this off-list.

* Probe folks,

I have a post-doc researcher here in one of our engineering departments who is interested in analyzing a Ni-Pt-Al system.  I've been trying pure metals as standards for his samples, but obviously I'd like to minimize any absorption or fluorescence issues there might be.  Does anyone have any experience with such a system?  Do you know of suitable standards for such a system, or have you just used pure metals?

Thanks,
Ellery
