User Proposal
If you are interested in using the SIMS instruments at the Caltech Center for Microanalysis, please contact Prof. John Eiler or Dr. Yunbin Guan for further information.
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.
(A more detailed description of sample preparation for analysis with our NanoSIMS-50L and 7f-Geo is coming soon.)
Caltech Center for Microanalysis Schedule
You can email to the Lab Manager to set up a schedule of using the SIMS instruments.
(Online Schedule Is Coming Soon.)
