Abstract
There are many applications of X-rays which do not depend on the diffraction of X-rays, at least not directly, and it is the purpose of this chapter to discuss some of these applications. One obvious example of such an application is radiography which has already been discussed in Chapter 10. The most important class of methods to be discussed here is the application of X-ray spectroscopy which includes X-ray emission spectroscopic analysis and electron probe X-ray microanalysis. After these methods have been discussed a brief account of some of the miscellaneous applications of X-rays will be given.
