8. Final recommendations
The contents of this e-learning material have been developed to introduce the readers to the fundamentals of EDXRS practice. However, the e-learning platform has obvious limitations to elaborate into the specifics and details of all the subjects. The readers are encouraged to consult specialized literature to enhance the knowledge and to get acquainted with the fundamentals and extensive results of implementation of different XRS techniques and methodologies.
Some references have been provided during the learning, but the following texts are of extreme value for advanced learning:
