The nuclear microprobe as an analytical tool

  • 1. UKAEA Research Group, Harwell. Atomic Energy Research Establishment

Description

The nuclear microprobe is a spatially sensitive analytical instrument which exploits measurement of the particles or other radiations emitted when specimens are irradiated with beams of energetic charged-particles, most often having energies lying the range 0.5-4 MeV. Factors affecting the analytical and technical performance are discussed and examples given of application of the instrument to the fields of nuclear science and metallurgy, biology and geology.
