EDX of Thorium Particles in Nephrocytes (f) Elemental X-ray spectra derived from the analysis of the electron dense aggregates in the vacuole shown in figure 5.39b (figure 5.39e) and the adjacent cytoplasm of the cell extension (figure 5.39f). The aggregates show multiple peaks for thorium. Peaks for copper, chromium and zinc are derived from the specimen support grid and the instrument.
