-!style="background:lightgrey; color:black" | Destructive method: A beam of high energy heavy ions (caesium or oxygen) sputters off surface atoms that are subsequently measured with a mass spectrometer.

-!style="background:lightgrey; color:black" | Non destrucive method: X-rays are irridiating the sample, and the energy of edjected photoelectrons is measured. The elemental analysis is possible, since the binding energy of the electrons (and hence the energy of the emitted photoelectrons) are specific for each element.
