Description

A series of chemical analyses of two interplanetary dust particles (IDPs), SP85 and SP87, has been performed with a proton (PIXE)- and a synchrotron-radiation (SYRFA)-microprobe. The quantitative results have been discussed with respect to sample heating and atmospheric contamination. Eleven more samples from the stratospheric collection have been analysed with PIXE and SYRFA. SYRFA appears to be a suitable tool for multielement analyses in the micro range with the advantage of much less irradiation time compared to PIXE. (orig.)
