16. The factor of 0.76 was determined as the maximal possible contribution of spectrum (a) to spectrum (d). Larger factors would have resulted in negative intensities in the featureless spectral regions (152.2, 156.9, and 164.5 eV). The factor differs from unity due to the decreasing PI transmission as a function of exposure.

25. The spectra were ordered according to Na peak size, which approximately corresponds to increasing excitation dose. The excitation dose is approximative due to the unknown "reactivity" at the different excitation energies as well as due to small, but reproducible shifts of beam spot position when changing the photon energy.
