Abstract
Mixtures of the common constituents of kidney stones were analyzed by x-ray diffraction and infrared absorption. The roentgenographic technic was more sensitive for detecting the minor constituent in eight mixtures and infrared was more sensitive in two. When the minor constituent makes up less than 10% of the sample, probably neither technic will identify it.Keywords
