Facility Description

Ion probe facility (2 ion probes, Cameca ims 3F and Cameca ims 1270). - The Cameca 1270 Ionmicroprobe is a CNRS-INSU national facility. There are only two such instruments in Europe,with cosmochemistry only performed at CRPG.

Facility Applications

Different analyses can be performed on a routine basis, such as U-Pb dating on Zircon, Monazite or Pechblende, Li, B, C, O, Si isotopic ratios determination on different matrix, 26Al, 60Fe extinct radioactivity ages, light and trace elements contents.
