Secondary Ionization Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) is an effective method for high-resolution chemical imaging and direct investigation of solid materials. SIMS provides highly sensitive elemental and isotopic information at micro- to nanoscale precision by sputtering a surface with a concentrated ion beam and examining the resulting ions.
This on-demand webinar introduces TOFWERK's fibTOF time-of-flight (TOF) mass analyzer, which is designed to work seamlessly with leading FIB-SEM platforms.
The fibTOF provides exact mass separation, excellent sensitivity, and nanometer-scale spatial resolution, enabling localized chemical analysis and comprehensive 3D dataset generation with a mass spectrum for each voxel.
