  • Abstract
    By combining PIXE and NAA more trace elements can be determined in biological materials than by any of the two techniques alone. This is demonstrated in applications to serum and serum albumin samples and in a study of trace elements in tumor and lung tissues, collected from mice injected with B-16 melanoma tumor cells.
