The present application of X-ray line ratio temperature and density diagnostics to solar active region spectra acquired by the P78-1 satellite's 'SOLEX' instrument notes that only about 10 percent of the observed regions exhibited electron densities greater than 3 billion/cu cm, which is the threshold for the measurement of coronal electron densities. The SOLEX data tightly constrain the G-ratio; some of the calculations presented are not in agreement with observations. Measured active-region temperatures are lower than those required for the most efficient production of the line emissions involved in diagnostic ratios, indicating emission-measure distributions to be a decreasing function of temperature above 1.8 MK.
