A
microprobe is a tiny device used to study or analyze extremely small objects or materials. It helps scientists and researchers examine things at a microscopic level and understand their properties or characteristics.
Full definition
This shows secondary electron image of pits left by
ion microprobe analyses of a heterogeneous apatite grain in Apollo sample 14321, 1047.
Electron
microprobe analysis produced elemental mappings showing that uranium was associated with framboidal pyrite.
Proxima Centauri's planetary system is also particularly interesting because there are plans — the Starshot project — for future direct exploration of the system
with microprobes attached to laser - driven sails.
General user support for the XRF
microprobe work was also provided by the DOE's Environmental Remediation Sciences Division.
«We fabricated an array of
hollow microprobes with designed diameters, heights, and numbers from a silicon substrate using microfabrication techniques.
Using a Cameca NanoSIMS 50L multicollector ion
microprobe at Carnegie, the researchers measured the amount of deuterium in the samples compared to the amount of regular hydrogen.
Using a
sensitive microprobe to examine crystals collected during Apollo 17, he found a hundred times as much water as previously measured.
The instrument can analyse more accurately than
other microprobes a specimen's chemicals and the isotopic content of its less abundant elements.
SHRIMP's construction was originally advocated in 1973 by Bill Compston, a geochemist at the ANU, on the grounds that ion
microprobes then commercially available were insufficiently sensitive for such work.
The researchers fabricated an array of
hollow microprobes to improve throughput and achieve flexibility in single - cell manipulation.
Researchers used a multicollector
ion microprobe to study hydrogen - deuterium ratios in lunar rock and on Earth.
Her university lacks an electron
microprobe — the primary tool used for classification — and so she understands why collectors and dealers tend to go to Western scientists.
He chipped off a gram piece and put it under an electron
microprobe, which uses an electron beam to excite atoms in the rock's minerals.
The international scientific team, led by author Charles W. Kosman, used an electron
microprobe, an infrared spectrometer and a secondary ion mass spectrometer to analyze these diamonds.
«Usually after a session on the electron
microprobe, I can say exactly what kind of meteorite it is.
The microprobes work like micro fingers picking up human cells.
Specifically, they measured hydrogen and its isotope, deuterium (hydrogen with an extra neutron in its nucleus) with ion
microprobes, which use a focused beam of ions to sputter ions from a small rock sample into a mass spectrometer.
You have electron
microprobes, which are involved in the cutting edge of nanotechnology, for instance.
In order to measure the proportions of the oxygen isotopes in the zircons, the team, led by scientist Alexander Nemchin, used a device called an ion
microprobe.
The ion
microprobe was built to tackle this sort of problem.
The research team measured the water content in the inclusions using a state - of - the - art NanoSIMS 50L ion
microprobe.
