Capabilities

A high-sensitivity platform with sub-micron spatial resolution for characterising the surface chemistry of samples from the environmental, physical and life sciences.

Benefits :

  • Mass spectra of surface layers of materials and absorbed molecules.
  • Imaging of spatial distributions of mass signals on materials surfaces.
Example images
  ToF-SIMS imaging of a diagnostic microarray surface.

 
   
  Part of the mass spectrum recorded with a sub-monolayer antibacterial coating.
