Is this just about the APXS on MER on spectrometers in general? The MER APXS doesn't have a proton mode. Eluchil404 23:26, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You are right the paper says the same! --Stone 07:26, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Clarification needed[edit]

I tagged this partly uncited text from the lede because it is not clear what it is trying to tell the reader: "Since there are faster methods available which do not use radioactive material to analyse the elemental composition of a sample ^{[citation needed]}, this compact and low power method is most often used on space missions.^{[clarification needed]} A variation is the Alpha Proton X-Ray Spectrometer, such as on the Pathfinder mission, which also detects protons." So, what is the reason for using it on space missions? Why not use the faster methods? This text looks like it needs to be copyedited to use a less confusing plain active sentence. -84user (talk) 23:36, 29 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
