Opening of the new NanoSIMS facility
Analytical nano secondary ion mass spectrometry (NanoSIMS) imaging is perfectly suited to measure, visualize and quantify the distribution of elements and their stable isotopes in environmental samples or at the sub-cellular level in biological material. The Nano SIMS lab of the Core Facility for Advanced Isotope Research offers access to one of the most modern secondary ion mass spectrometers currently available, the NanoSIMS 50L (CAMECA).
