Ian Lyon, lead of the TOFSIMS lab in Manchester, UK has developed two TOFSIMS instruments with his colleagues. One instrument uses C60 ion sputtering and laser post-ionization to boost detection sensitivity and the other is equipped with gold cluster and duoplasmatron ion guns. The different types of ion gun provide diverse analytical capabilities to look for a variety of solar wind elements embedded in the Genesis samples.
