Francisco,

you can find well presented and detailed discussions on detection limits
and counting statistics in:

Jenkins, Gould & Gedcke 1995: Quantitative x-ray spectrometry. 2nd
ed.,Dekker, New York, ISBN 0-8247-9554-7
and
Bertin 1984: Priciples and practice of x-ray spectrometric analysis. 4nd
ed., Plenum

A good web link is the microprobe web page of James Wittke:
http://jan.ucc.nau.edu/~wittke/Microprobe/Statistics.html

Hope I helped.

cheers,
-Peter
