EMSL Scientist Zihua Zhu monitors a test sample in EMSL’s NanoSIMS, which supports studies in atmospheric science, biology, geochemistry, materials science and nanoparticulates. The nanoSIMS is a new-generation ion microprobe that extends secondary ion mass spectrometry, or SIMS, analysis to extremely small areas or volumes while maintaining extremely high sensitivity at high mass resolution.
