Hi everybody,

first I like to thank you for this nice forum :smile:
I tried the search function and found no answer to my question, so here it is:
How can I calculate the Bremsstrahlungs background for TEM EDX spectras (Intensity vs. Energy)?
I found several formulas, for example the oldest Kramers/Small, but they all have
a 1/E dependecy, which of course go to ∞ approaching 0. But since I am interested in
the Oxygen peak, that doesn´t help much...
If anyone have an idea or can give me some directions (link to a paper maybe?)
I would really appreciate.

Thanks
