depth resolution

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.D01607
The distance between the 84 and 16 per cent levels of the @D01606@ of an element in a perfect sandwich sample with an infinitesimally small overlap of the components. These limits correspond to the 2\(\sigma \)-value of the Gaussian distribution of the signal at the @I03082@.
