[Ifeffit] Is it legitimate to merge transmission data with fluorescence data?

[jrkizews at ncsu.edu]

Dear XAFS community members,
I have a question concerning data merge. We normally collect XAFS data in
both transmission mode and fluorescence mode. We normally have to merge a
few scans to enhance signal-to-noise ratio. For one particular sample, I
want to know if it is legitimate to merge its transmission scans with its
fluorescence scans to improve data quality?
I appreciate any input.
Regards.
