Dear Fiona, I think it would be pretty unusual for transmission and fluorescence data measured at the same time to be of comparable quality and both be "noisy-but-good-enough" that merging would actually help. Are you sure that the data a similar enough (no pinhole or self-absorption effects) that it really helps to merge the different data sets?
Perhaps posting example data would be a good idea. --Matt On Mon, Aug 10, 2009 at 5:13 PM, <jrkiz...@ncsu.edu> wrote: > Dear XAFS community members, > I have a question concerning data merge.
