    An article suggested by Roland BENOIT from the CNRS of ORLEANS presenting the bases of the XPS and the various aspects of the exploitation of the spectrum . He speaks about the concept of qualitative and quantitative analysis by presenting the localization of the phenomena. It shows that the form of the spectra is also carrying information.
