    TOFSIMS and RESONANCE IONIZATION LABORATORIES, MANCHESTER, UK GALLERY

 

  Ian Lyon, lead of the TOF-SINS lab in Manchester, UK  

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.
