IMS 1300-HR³ - Large Geometry SIMS
Large Geometry Ion Microprobe for Geosciences
The IMS 1300-HR³ is a large geometry ion microprobe delivering unequalled analytical performance for a wide range of geoscience applications: tracking geological processes using stable isotopes, dating minerals, determining the presence and distribution of trace elements. Its high sensitivity and high lateral resolution also make it the tool of choice to search and measure uranium particles for nuclear safeguards purposes.
Product Details
A unique combination of High Reproducibility at High spatial Resolution and High mass Resolution
With the new IMS 1300-HR³, CAMECA greatly improves the performance of its large geometry SIMS, already a market leader, and now offers the geoscience community a unique combination of High Reproducibility, with High Spatial Resolution at High Mass Resolution. The tool addresses the growing demand for small scale, in situ isotopic measurements at high precision and productivity, opening a wide range of research directions, from stable isotopes, geochronology and trace elements to small particles and beyond.
Key features inherited from the IMS 1280-HR and previous model:
Large geometry design to provide optimum sensitivity at high mass resolution
Versatile multi-collection system for very high-precision isotopic measurements
Dual primary ion sources for analysis of positive & negative secondary ions
Superior ion imaging capabilities (microprobe and microscope modes)
NMR-enhanced magnet control system for high reproducibility at high mass resolution
Remote control, analysis scheduling, powerful application-specific software
Advances & benefits of the IMS 1300-HR³:
New RF-plasma oxygen source with greatly enhanced beam density and current stability, dramatically improving spatial resolution, data reproducibility and throughput
New automated storage chamber with motorized sample height adjustment (Z-axis), significantly increasing productivity
UV-light microscope for improved optical image resolution, together with dedicated software for easy sample navigation
1012 Ω resistor Faraday cup boards: low noise electrometry system for measuring low count rates
