Scanning proton microprobe in an atmospheric environment

  • 1. Massachusetts Inst. of Tech., Cambridge

Description

The advantages and limitations of the scanning proton microprobe (SPM) for determining the spacial distribution of elements are discussed. Special attention is given to the SPM with x-ray detection in which the sample is in an atmospheric environment. This development retains the high sensitivity of SPM to the detection of trace elements in thick targets, with beams of micron resolution, and adds the important capability of examining hydrated samples. Illustrations are given of recent application of the technique to the study of single strands of hair, hydrated tissue, and solid state materials
