Cryogenic Sample Stage for the CAMECA IMS-3f Ion Microscope.
Abstract:
A liquid nitrogen cooled sample stage for use with the CAMECA-IMS-3F ion microscope has been designed, built and incorporated into the existing laboratory instrumentaton for SIMS analysis of samples at cryogenic temperatures. This is particularly useful for the ion microscopic analysis of frozen hydrated samples biologicals, and the study of sputter and ion yields of materials in a water matrix. The application to semiconductor analysis is being explored. Keywords Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry SIMS Ion microscopy Cryogenic Laboratory technique Instrumentation Frozen hydrated samples.
