14. 23 Feb 2006 14 Difference dark/light spot 1)Dark spot: more W 2)Light spot: more Au 1) 2) We don’t understand peak at 1.40 keV The only element there is Se DCSN0039.JPG 14:28

15. 23 Feb 2006 15 Check with WDS for Silicon (Wavelength Dispersion) DCSN0041.JPG 14:38 W

16. 23 Feb 2006 16 Checked EDS of good wire 2 places wire sample 7 (new) 1 place wire sample 6 (non-irradiated) 1 place wire sample 5 (far from irr)  all identical EDS spectra DCSN0046.JPG 16:16

17. 23 Feb 2006 17 Checked EDS of wire sample 5 Every 100 um systematically 1)Normal 2)A bit of W 3)A bit of W  picture 4)A bit of W 5)A tiny bit of W 6)More W  picture 7)A bit of W 8)A bit of W 9)A tiny bit of W 10)A bit of W DCSN0048.JPG 16:31 DCSN0051.JPG 16:55

18. 23 Feb 2006 18 Checked for Oxygen with WDS DCSN0054.JPG 17:07 DSCN0057.JPG 17:20

19. 23 Feb 2006 19 Check with WDS for Carbon: Yes… PS. Also checked for Cr: not found.
