CalcZAF- Enterprise Edition (free to all)
Program CALCZAF.EXE is a small applet for "stand-alone" calculation of ZAF and Phi-Rho-Z matrix correction parameters. CalcZAF can accept composition to calculate intensities (k-ratios) or calculate composition from intensities using normalized k-ratios, raw k-ratios or unknown and standard counts. K-ratios or counts measured on compound standards may be utilized, and the software will load standard compositions from the Standard composition database.
CalcZAF can also calculate large amounts of binary composition data and create data suitable for plotting error histograms. In addition CalcZAF can apply geometric corrections to intensities for particles (cubes, prisms, spheres and fibers) and thin films (only for those films or foils less then 1 microgram/centimeter^2 or assuming density = 1 approximately 0.01 um or 100 nm or 1000 angstroms) based on various adjustable parameters. Note that the accuracy of the particle method depends on bracketing a single particle in the scanned or defocused beam (overscanning) and applying judgement as to the particle shape and the distance along the beam axis. Note that the scan or defocus size must be equal to the particle dimension.
Finally CalcZAF has very powerful tools for calculating detection limits (concentration at given integration time or integration time given concentration) and also for calculating x-ray and electron distances in elements and compounds.
CalcZAF Distribution- "Standalone" Version (ZIP)
Warning: download the CalcZAF_Dist distribution ZIP file and extract and install using the Setup.exe program only the first time. For all subsequent updates, please download the CalcZAF_Update-E ZIP file and extract all files to the CalcZaf application folder.

PENEPMA- Penelope Monte-carlo Calculation Files (ZIP)
Download and extract these files to create input files for PENEPMA (EPMA version of Penelope Monte-Carlo software) using the Standard.exe program along with CalcZAF.exe. The PENEPMA12.ZIP file should be extracted to a folder named Penepma12 in the CalcZAF user data folder (usually C:\UserData\Penepma12) for secondary boundary fluorescence profile calculations using the PENEPMA Penfluor and Fanal applications. The PENEPMA path statements in the PROBEWIN.INI may need to be edited to specify the PENEPMA path properly.
CASINO- Graphical Monte-Carlo Calculation Files (ZIP)
Download and extract these files to run Casino. An easy to use graphical freeware Monte-Carlo calculation program for EPMA. Great for modeling your interaction volume with specific compositions, beam energies and sample geometries. To model the emission volumes be sure to calculate the emission lines also!
