User Proposal
If you are interested in using the SIMS instruments at the Caltech Microanalysis Center, please contact Prof. John Eiler or Dr. Yunbin Guan for further information.
User Fees
External academic users: $245/hour (minimum 4 hours and up to 8 hours per day), effective from 1/22/2024.
Sample Preparation
For ion microprobe analysis, samples must have polished flat surface. If the samples are not conductive, they have to be coated with an electrically conductive coating. Either gold or carbon coats can be used. However, gold coating is preferred for better conductivity and easier sputtering than carbon.
At present, we have sample holders to accommodate typically polished thin sections, thick sections, grain mounts, or pre-mounted "bullet" samples.
Caltech Microanalysis Center Schedule
You can email to the Lab Director to set up a schedule of using the SIMS instruments.
